Linda, Mother Marie and Sheila sit around and tell stories at table. Video is generally poor as lighting is too low in camper, but the stories are good, especially Crazy Mary relieving herself at the store while shopping. Occasional nice two shots of Mather Marie and Linda as camera pans back and forth in camper.
