Mary's New Cruiser.

Mrs. Henderson is the cutest, sassiest little woman I know (next to Dolly Parton).

She's been having a hard time dealing with her husband's death.

Her coping strategy?

A bright yellow bicycle. With flower prints.

She just thought she needed it in case she wanted to take a spin around the neighborhood.

I absolutely cannot stand it.

"The cuteness is evident in the picture, but the sassiness?" you ask.

Exhibit A: During last fall's presidential election, George Bush called the house to ask for her vote. Everyone in the phone book got the same canned calls, I think. She hung up on him.

Exhibit B: Jan went over to check on her recently, and she had heard about a new saloon in town at her knitting group. She insisted that they go there for dinner to check it out. So they did.

Hee.
