There's this gal who lives next to John, one of my best friends. I was out there last night, & she came over. Now, Peanut, as we all call her, has not had an easy life. Been married several times, has several kids, & granchildrens. Anyhow, we gave John & Shauna a tin of this UNBELIEVABLY good candy for Christmas, I knew Peanut had gotten some of it, too. So I told her I had one tin of it left, did she know of anybody who might want it ?!? Well, that's all it took...She was about 1/2 mad I didn't go home & get it right then...Anyhow, I took it out there today around lunch, & I could barely get away from her, she was so tickled over that candy...But she REALLY went into orbit when I saw her daddy's old radio there-a Philco "Smiling Hippo", & I told her a little about it. Too bad it has a chunk broken out of it, but the piece is still there. I told her I'd take it to Terry's the next time I went & have it playing like new. It plays now as it is, surprisingly no cap hum. People who don't know much about these things sometimes think that those of us who DO know a little about them are gods of some sort. Anyhow, Peanut isn't exactly materially blessed, if you get my drift, I think her kids & grankids keep her pretty much "tapped out". I just kinda like doin' stuff for folks like that-Peanut kinda does a lot for her family, but I don't think they do much for her in return. Her real name is Melisa, but I doubt if she'd even answer to that...She's been "Peanut" as long as I've known her.
