She was talking about her Longaberger baskets not selling.

I meant to tell you that I put $65 on the hamper and then came down to $50 and didn’t get a nibble.  I had a little basket of kim’s with $10 on it and no one acted interested in it either.  I don’t know if it’s the economy or what but people just didn’t seem to be buying stuff like that.  Of course, one of our biggest customers is R– B– and I kept wondering why he hadn’t come by.  Then we saw in the paper that he’d been arrested for possession of cocaine.

Love,
Mom
