Twixt Me and My Typewriter by Dalores Meek
Dalores Meek recounts door troubles at her office in a humorous town vignette. She recalls Rev. Bill Grisham, Chester Slaughter, and staff like Joe Johnson and Becca Tillman, noting door fixes, curious visitors, and a power outage affecting the Sun building move. The tone blends self deprecation with local color and neighborly antics.
