Was busy at work today
Although we did find time To play a few games. Dana discovered she was robbed Of 85 some dollars and
Believes that Vickie Butler stole it. She had the opportunity
And was in the bedroom alone. Mary called and talked to Dick Butler,
Her father, But I doubt if she will
Ever get the money back.
It sure would be nice if people
Could just be honest.
