A Gathering Of The Widow(ers) At Steeple Deli

Went down to The Steeple Market last night to pick up my Hot Turkey Dinner for supper. Noticed Elaine Kirkpatrick sitting in her car with the motor running. When I got in the store and got to the Deli, there was Jim Woodward also waiting to pick up his Hot Turkey Dinner. A minute or so later up walks Elaine Kirkpatrick and she said she had seen me come in and knew it was time for her to go in and pick up her Hot Turkey Dinner. The young man behind the counter asked us each what we wanted and a fourth person was there also waiting to pick up three Hot Turkey Dinners.

Elaine told Jim and I that her oven had not been working for the last month or so - Jim and I made no excuses and just admitted we did not do much of any cooking. In fact, I told Elaine, I don't know if my oven is working or not, but I do know the microwave is.
