The Landlady

Billy's landlady is Dixie. Dixie has a few obsessions. One is collecting things like depression glass. Another is the expanding of her indoor rain forest. It is rumored that she is planning a room addition, just for them. She is also a voracious mushroom hunter (in season). And she make frequent trips to Kent Park for no apparent reason (in all seasons).

We went over to visit with Wally and Dixie last evening for two reasons. One was to negotiate for a lower floor apartment and, of course, the other was because it was martini night. I'm not sure which was more fruitful.

When I brought up the subject of how nice it would be for Billy to be on the main floor, she feigned any knowledge of Billy's plight. In fact she said, "Who is Billy?"

Like I have said before, "You can't make this stuff up"
