to pick out a bed. Susan spoke up, “Oh no, I’ll take the sofa you sleep on the bed,” “Nonsense, the sofa will work just fine for me.” Ella told her as she plopped down bouncing on the sofa. “You don’t have to offer the bed twice to me. I’ll take the bed. I’m older than you ladies and need the rest.” Alicia gave out a deep loud heehaw laugh. “Whatever you say.” Susan agreed. “Let’s get unpacked and then get some dinner, I’m famished. Ella told them. “I’m so hungry I can feel my ribs.” Alicia said as she rubbed the bulge hanging over her tight pants. “You are quite the lady, Alicia. Ella laughed. The ladies located a restaurant in the hotel. Ella ordered a Caesar Salad, Susan ordered a hamburger and for Alicia, she order a full course meal. Alicia is not bashful she says it like she sees it. Ella learned a lot about the ladies as the weekend unfolded. She hired two very different personalities but each had their positive points. Ella formed a good team she thought to herself. At many of the vendor’s displays, Ella purchased and the ladies filled their arms with merchandise, they made several trips to the room as the day of shopping progressed. Alicia gave Ella good ideas on vases and other items for the floral designing. Susan didn’t know much about floral supplies but had a good e ye for costume jewelry. Most of the purchases would be delivered to the store. Ella didn’t thing the merchandise would arrive for a couple weeks but most of the vendors told her they would ship on the following Monday. Monday morning after a good breakfast the ladies packed their bags. Ella called for a couple of bellhops and two carriers. There was a knock at the door. Alicia greeted the bell hops with, “Boys you’ve got your work cut out for you.” The room was full of boxes. The two young men looked stunned. “You want us to carry all this stuff to your car?” He said looking over to his work partner. “That’s right start with the big boxes.” Alicia ordered them. As they pulled their carts closer to the boxes Ella walked from the bathroom. “Gentlemen,” she said, “you will be well paid. It’s too much for us ladies. We’ve been shopping all weekend.” Ella said pointing to Alicia, “She has blisters on her feet.” “Ella, I can carry my bag.” Susan said. “That’s not necessary these young men will take care of everything.” Ella told her. The young men started stacking the boxes as high as possible and made several trips to the parking garage. The station wagon was full including the back seat. All three of them had to set in the front seat. Good thing Ella had a bench seat. Susan fastened her seat belt and Alicia tried to buckle her belt. “It aint gonna buckle.” Alicia told the ladies. “Let’s start over. Susan you unbuckle, now Susan you buckle Alicia.” Alicia pulled the belt out as far as possible. Susan pushed until she heard a snap. “There that wasn’t so bad.” Alicia said as she twisted herself around and breathed out. Susan twisted and turned squishing Alicia she finally got her belt buckled. Ella seated herself behind the steering wheel, pulled her belt over her shoulder and lifted her left butt cheek. She pushed on the belt latch finally she heard a snap. The ladies cheered and Alicia
