Rochelle talks about the water issues at her house. Yikes! They also talk about the tornado weather that has been happening in their area.  Rochelle brings Leslie up to speed on her most recent OBGYN visit where she needs to educate the young CNA on our priorities at this age. And... Dirty minds! If you picked the "W" as the 3rd letter, you're absolutely right! Leslie's daughter's birthday was at the end of May and they talk about plans for celebrating as a family. They do talk about quilts eventually. They talk about antique quilts and about museum quilts. They still are fascinated by vintage quilts that are in Goodwill that are being used in clothing.
