Sadly Alexis could not make it with the biscuits and gravy
β€œLike I was a stranger, someone who just happened to stay for coffee and donuts on Sunday, someone you talked to about the πŸ‘ harvest or water shortage.”
β€œThe half pint of πŸ‘ brandy I’d hidden under the seat went down too fast, half-gone before I’d even passed the Sunny Acres sign. ”

β€œShe liked to sit in the fruit stand and talk to the people who stopped to buy πŸ‘ and jam. ”
