Cinema at the farm

Edna: Margie, put down the special tea and go get the bug spray, we're going to a movie tonight!

Margie: Why on Earth do we need bug spray? I'm not going to a theater that has bugs in it.

Edna: Obviously you weren't paying attention earlier when the postman was here. I swan, you ignore anyone who's not falling all over you. If you'd been listening, you would have heard him say that the Richmonds have started an outdoor movie series at their farm and the first movie is tonight! It's free for the community, and they're going to show "Rear Window" on the side of their barn as soon as it gets dark. Lands, this sounds like a wonderful idea, doesn't it?

Margie: What a lovely idea! I can't wait. I can just see myself pretending to be looking for the restroom when I fall into some hunk's lap.

Let's load up on popcorn, candy bars, and special tea for me.

Edna: You'd best watch the special tea, I'm not sure Stanley Richmond will be letting you inside his farmhouse to use the facilities if you overindulge. Besides, I won't have you embarrassing me in public again, you're a sloppy drunk.

I do like the idea of doing something in the out-of-doors that's easy on the budget yet fun for the community. Plus, how often do you get to say you watched a movie in a barnyard?

Margie: You just hold on there. Barnyard? Like with horse droppings and cow patties? I'm not exactly the outdoorsy type, sister.

Edna, I don't feel so good. I best stay home because I wouldn't want anybody else to catch this bug I've got.

Edna: Whoo-eee, that's the best news I've gotten all day! See you later, sister, I'm off to the movies. Er, and feel better soon, I guess.

Richmond Farm Produce

Margie: Edna, come quick and see what I've found on the back porch. I think the Easter Bunny has paid us a visit. I'm so excited.

Edna: I'll come look, but you'd best not be luring me out here for some nefarious purpose. The last time you had me come look at something you found on the back porch, I almost tossed my cookies because the yard cats had left us a dead mouse.

What's got you all fired up this time, you nitwit?

Margie: See how nasty you are, Edna? I'm not sharing! That sweet Stanley Richmond has left us a stack of corn, some apples, some apple cider, and some squash. I can eat and drink this by myself. I'll tell Stanley how ungrateful you are too.

Edna: Oh my goodness, that was very sweet of Stanley! I know they usually try to sell everything they have at their farm stand, so it was nice of him to leave some goodies for us. You know, there's nothing quite like locally grown produce. We should have some corn for dinner tonight, I'd best go get my good dentures.

I wonder when their fruit trees are going to start producing? I've got a hankering for some peach pie.

Margie: Peach cobbler. Yum. Oh, I want watermelon and strawberries too. Maybe a rhubarb pie.

Edna, your dentures won't be good for long as I know how you eat an ear of corn.

Edna: Margie, even your insults can't get me down, I'm too excited about the fresh produce and cider. I think that cider will taste good later tonight with a splash of special tea in it, what do you think?

Margie: I say cider with special tea requires no dentures. WooHoo!
