None more resilient than Mindy herself. Bien fait Madame Pélissier!
I told Jane that she’s the Madame LaFarge of the OB movement. Jane knew who I was referring to, do you?
You mean Dickens’ Madame Defarge?
OKay, okay, yes, Dicken’s Madame Defarge in Tale of Two Cities about the French Revolution. Defarge was the in the center of the revolt.
Mindy rarely goes on the internet and even more rarely visits the OB Rag.
Thank you Mindy for all your work and efforts over the years. Just one more reason to support the OB Dog Wash ….. a merchant who is vested in the community. If only more merchants would do the same.
Thank you OBRAG for this venue and all the writers and readers.
