"Good morning Dorothy and how are we this morning?" asked Blanche.

"Just fine Blanche except for the craving of Cheesecake that I suddenly can't resist!" They scurry

into the kitchen, hunting, searching for the infamous cheesecake, ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was

seven o'clock in the morning and they were eating cheesecake.

"Good morning girls!" beamed Rose as she walked through the kitchen door. "What are you

eating?"

" Sandpaper Rose! What does it look like you idiot, it's cheesecake!" Dorothy said excitedly.

" For breakfast? I would never eat cheesecake for breakfast, it's very unhealthy and it doesn't settle

my stomach in the morning."

" Oh Rose take a walk on the wild side and have some with us." said Dorothy. "Oh, I just don't

know if I can."

" Rose, it's not like it's paprika!" exclaimed Blanche.

"Well okay, I guess I can have a little bit." They sat their just talking and eating as much as they

usually do every Saturday morning. Blanche was talking about her Saturday evening that she was planning

to go on tonight and Rose was talking about all the volunteer work she was involved with.

" You know girls I was just thinking, maybe we should be in a race or something, it would give us

an excuse to go out and exercise, and if we kept the exercise up, we could possibly have great bodies by the

time the summer came." said Dorothy.

" That's a great idea Dorothy, I hope you and Rose have fun exercising!" said Blanche.

" But Blanche don't you want to be in the race with us? asked Rose.

" Of, course it's for a good cause but my most perfectly shaped womanly body does not need

exercising! Blanche said bragging.

" Yes Blanche, and I'm short." laughed Dorothy sarcastically.

" Oh, I guess I'll exercise with you, just so we can go to those fitness centers and see those men

with great bodies." Dorothy and Rose look at each other wondering just when Blanche would ever stop

talking about men. I guess you can say men are her specialty.

" Do you know where Ma is?" asked Dorothy with interest.

" She came in late last night when I was getting a drink of water in the kitchen." said Rose. " She

said she had been over visiting Angelo." " It seemed like they were planning to do something together. I

would let her sleep, she looked exhausted."

" I wonder what she's planning, I ask her when she gets up." said Dorothy with pondering eyes.

Dorothy had no idea what Sophia was planning, neither did Blanche or Rose. Of course Rose didn't know

much.
