The ladies of Crooked Lake, Indiana hatched a plan they thought would shame their husbands into stop playing cards so often and stay home more but instead instigated a melee never seen before in that quiet town.

Jennifer Allgood said,  “Ladies, we may not have won the war but we certainly won our first battle.”

“She’s right,” agreed Lulu Thorenson, “Let’s all raise our voices in song praising the Lord.

    This was very good, I enjoyed this story a lot, made me laugh and it was so well painted that I could see everything. Your life has been so interesting and I love your hometown. That’s the type of town I like.

    Ken, I have to tell you I worked the last two days and I’ve been wanting to get back and see if you had finished this tale. I loved it. Well done and I would have love to have seen those church ladies with their goodies hanging out. I think it was a good ending for all. I hope the poor little ceiling mouse found a new home.

  • deep blue on Feb 20, 2010

    That was a rather lengthy narration but worth the read. Well done Ken.
