Greta's eyes widened, "You're joking!"

[uncledaddy]

Paul shook his head. "Money's never been a <<Schickelgruber>> thing," he said simply. "Some places trade goods and services, and places that see more human contact might deal in human currency... but this ain't one of 'em."

[Red Lion]

"Well I have to give you something," said Greta, she gave his cheek a kiss, "Thank you very much,"

[uncledaddy]

Paul chuckled. "Any time. You just come back here and make yerself an appointment."

[Red Lion]

"You're so sweet!" she cooed as she waved goodbye, "I'll be back before you know it!"

[uncledaddy]

He waved back at her, then went to sweep up around the chair and wait for the next visitor.

When Randy returned home Baby showed him a 24 hour family pass to the spring festival held in the town square and park, "Want to go?" she asked.

[uncledaddy]

He looked it over and nodded. "Sure; the kids'll love that," he replied. "We ain't been out in a while."

"Besides, Kurt is entering one of his flowers in the gardening contest, he's hoping to win first prize this year," said Baby.

[uncledaddy]

"I be surprised if he don't," said Randy VIII. "What else they got there?"

[Red Lion]

"They have free foods and deserts contributed by everyone, Erickson is bringing his best cider and baked treats and Happy Horse Farms is contributing tons of apples for the Everything Apple bake. There's going to be a Beer N' Barbecue hosted by Karl. Bill from the pub is bringing the booze and there are all kinds of games and rides," said Baby.

[uncledaddy]

Randy whistled. "Count me in! Round up them babies."

[Red Lion]

"Oh, wait," said Baby, "Jones is hosting a seminar, Kosher living for the contentious Vegan,"

[uncledaddy]

Randy gave a snort. "Sounds like him, alright."

[Red Lion]

Baby nodded, "Should I invite Gloria?"

[uncledaddy]

"Yeah, if you wanna," said Randy. He grinned mischievously. "She can hold onto the kids if we wanna sneak off an' do our own thing."
