A/N-This one might be considered boring. I don't know, this little chapter stems from Perky's Visit. Perky is Julia and Suzanne's mother who was in the nursing home and that's where she met Bernice. She will become a regular character later on.
The girls called them up and invited them to a thanksgiving dinner and the women were thankful because it was so boring in the nursing home but how boring was it?
Also, I can't recall if they ever mentioned the name of the nursing home so I'm just going to make up up. Please forgive me.
Life at Great oak nursing home was, well, not so great. Oh, the home itself was fascinating. It was a actual old grand plantation that the new owners had graciously turned into a nursing home for Atlanta's best.
Perky was the best and everybody knew that and so was her friend Bernice, and she best not hear of anyone saying otherwise.
She made a otherwise drab day not seem so...ordinary.
But otherwise, the days at this grand nursing home...well, the staff thought that throwing little kid like birthday parties for each person was a highlight of the day.
They had a hairdresser come every week and that was something to look forward to.
So Perky had her hair done and it was just right so she happily went back to her room that she shared with Bernice.
Bernice was sitting in her chair and drinking some kind of drink in a coffee cup that fooled the staff but not her!
Bernice looked at her friend and she said,
"Oh, Perky! Come on, it's almost 3 o'clock" "Oh yes, time for 'Bewitched'"
Bernice's face lights up and she clicks on the remote control then says,
"Yes, I don't know why I love that show" "Hmm, maybe it's because you look like one of the stars" "Who? Elizabeth Montgomery? Yes, she does remind me of myself when I was younger, I was quite a beauty under that big top"
Perky snickers to herself and sits down and watches and they laugh and giggle through the show then after it is over the phone rings and Perky answers then after about five minutes of happily chatting, she hangs up and says to her roommate,
"Bernice, things are looking up! That was my daughter Julia, she called to invite us to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow and a nice, young man named Anthony will pick us up"
"Oh, good! About time we got out of here! This place is boring on Thanksgiving. Do you know what they did last year?"
Perky shakes her head and Bernice says,
"They got us a turkey all right but they pulled it apart! Do you know what it's like to eat a boneless bird, boring!"
They go quiet as they each think on something then Bernice says,
"I do hope this Anthony won't be black"
A/N-If you read between the lines, you'll see a glimpse of a future story I will do when I finish this delightful series.
By the way, why do you think not many people write for the series? You can't say it's a old show, it's just about as old as the Golden Girls !
