Quote by Gillian Roberts

“Obviously, retired life in Florida didn't offer a whole lot of excitement. "Forty below in Fargo! she'd exlcaim. "I can't believe it! Why, at home it's probably seventy-five or eighty. It was always seventy-five or eighty at home, even when it was actually a hundred and twelve or in the midst of a hurricane.”

“After a stranger asked where I'm from, I told him I'm from Florida, and he said he has been there once and he'd stayed a week. I replied, "Yes, I remember. We all waited for you to come back, and we wondered where you had gone. We cried out for you, but you never answered." Then I offered him a swig of duck soup, because I had a thermos full and we were now practically brothers.”
