Heck, I gotta tell him about Cora. I don't like to iron but I can swint one pretty good if confronted, I know. I love your story, the man with the pen in the pocket, and Cora. I know she's smiling down on that tale and cheering for the person who was almost robbed. It really killed the guy?

I quit ironing 18 years ago (the reason why is a story all by itself) and though we do own an iron, it doesn't get much use. I never thought of using it as a weapon. Cora sure had a practical side!Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5138970017804731846.post-60141791127503361192012-01-30T09:47:56.725-08:002012-01-30T09:47:56.725-08:00Looks like Cora knew knew what was up!
