Saturday dropped a puzzle on Mrs. HM. Hopefully it's one of those giant-piece puzzles with only four interlocking parts, used for toddlers. And not one of those 2000 piece sea and sky puzzles like my grandma used to bring home from the mental hospital. Not that Grandma was IN the mental hospital. She worked at it, as a nurse's aide, the overnight 11:00 to 7:00 shift at State Hospital #4. Which was handy to babysit us if we were too sick for school. And the puzzles were also handy to keep us occupied so Grandma could catch a nap. She always took the puzzles back after completing them.
Anyhoo... the puzzle here was that behind the counter of the Gas Station Chicken Store on Saturday was NOT FAVE! It was Woman Owner running the register, with Man Owner puttering around stocking shelves. This was quite unusual for a Saturday.
They did not seem disgruntled. So I'm not worried that Fave might have been given the boot. You'd think if that was the case, both owners would have exhibited an attitude over working her shift. I hope it wasn't another dog fight. Fave lost the end of her thumb in the last one. She hasn't been sniffly or sick. She didn't mention that she would be gone. Then again, on Friday she didn't say, "See you tomorrow!" But that might be because a line had formed.
It's almost time now to leave for town on Sunday afternoon. We'll see if Fave is working, and what her excuse is! I hope she's back.
Woman Owner only sold me $11 of winners. Five on a $5 new bingo ticket, and six dollars on a $3 crossword. I can't count on her to sell me luck.

Oh I am so nosy, I would have asked where she is today~
jj,
Nope! I won't ask THE BOSS who is working her shift where Fave might be! She runs a tight ship. No need to allow her a chance to go off on my Fave in case there has been a separation. I asked during the first absence due to a dog fight breakup, and got a scornful reply concerning the dog breed.
Oh your reasoning makes sense, I am too nosy for my own good or Fave's good! :p
Oh no! I hope Fave is alright! and soon back to selling you winners.
jj,
If it had been the Other Gal cashier, I might have asked. But Farmer H went to school with Woman Owner, and I've been going there a long time, so we know her temperament, and don't tempt fate.
River,
She wasn't there Sunday, either!
