The Copplegates, despite being a prominent part of the sleepy little town of Fourncaite, Nebraska, took part in almost no social activities or hobbies at all... outside the home.

And so Leoda sat waiting patiently for her blind date with Arthur, who'd clearly neglected to inform her that he was escorting her to a Sterling Silver Dinner Dance at which participants were encouraged to wear shades of black, white and gray...

Poor Wendell just didn't have the wind in him any more to blow out 94 candles, so after a few spittle-strewn tries, he began patting them out with his hand!

Once back at their room in the Snor-'n-Roar Motor Lodge, Jeanine began to feel the effects of the oysters on the half shell that Garry had ordered for them at the nearby Captain Peg Leg's Catchery... and he was pleased as punch about it!

Every Friday afternoon when his step-mother Berniece came to fetch him from his mother Sheree, little Timothy felt torn.  Sometimes literally!

Merlynn, Phyllis, Roberta, Agnes and the other ladies were initially tentative about securing rooms for the Northwest Music Teachers Association conference at only $8.00 each, but  it wasn't long before they discovered a fun use for all the extra change they saved! (And Phyllis even claimed that her rheumatism was helped by all the vibrations.)

The first day of second grade brought out a lot of crisp new clothes on the students, but Lisa really did it up in style! And, surprisingly, none of the other girls hated her for her extravagance because she was so good at heart.
