[QUOTE="Ray_Krebbs, post: 382069, member: 28"] Southfork Ranch; the Garden – Early Afternoon Miss Phyllis was busy, flowering the array of roses in the garden, when Debra Lynn emerged from the sliding glass doors. The sound of the door closing startled the elder…. “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you,” Debra Lynn answered in an embarrassed tone. “Oh, it’s all right! Did you get bored in there?” “Well… my two men – James and Jimmy, I mean – are busy with J.R., and everyone else in engaged in their own conversations. I thought I’d take a walk,” Debra Lynn answered. “I’m pretty much finished over here. Would you mind some company on your walk, or would you rather be alone?” “Oh, no! I’d love the company, Miss Phyllis,” Debra Lynn assured. Miss Phyllis set down her watering can and joined Debra Lynn’s side. “So… what exactly is it that you do to keep yourself occupied up in New Jersey?” “Actually, I work in a beauty salon-“ “You don’t say! I used to be a hairdresser,” Miss Phyllis said with a laugh. “Really? When I got the idea to become one, James was sort of on the edge about it. He wanted me to continue being a stay-at-home mom for our son, but I was going bored out of my mind. I needed something to occupy my time. It turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made….” “I like you, Debra Lynn, and I’m going to be very personal with you…. My ex-husband didn’t exactly treat me very well.
