NOTE: I treat BMR, (my original no. 3 from 1960), the actual age she was in 1960 so now she is 76. So she dresses and acts that age, well a spry 76.)
Very early on the next day--Vickie opened the shop door early for Barbara M Roberts and her niece, Lara. Not only are they her building manager and landlady--they have become her very good friends.

BMR: Congratulations Vickie, that was quite the opening last night.
Vickie: Thank you, I think we were surprised too and dinner was delicious, many thanks to you!
BMR:Well, the store looks fabulous, especially without all those people that were here last night. I have to get some shopping in. I saw a yellow outfit, I'm interested in.

Zoe: There are two pair of slacks, the robe, and top here. How about this great golf skirt? Lara said you are quite the golfer.
 |

BMR: I love the little purse---and the skirt is perfect...not too short-you know I'm getting older and a certain amount of decorum is necessary. Yes, the whole thing...Vickie has such good taste and knows exactly what I like.

Ryan's Mom, Sandi, appears from the back room and chimes in: Oh, Miss Roberts---you always look so fabulous. You are a role model for all us women of a 'certain age.' (She giggles)
 |

BMR: Why thank-you. I really do try to be a role model. And, working with Vickie, Richelle, and Ryan has been a dream.
Dealing with local regulations and acquiring historical status for this building wasn't easy and caused so many delays in construction. But, I think it is worth it!

Vickie: We love the store, it's perfect. Thanks again, Miss Roberts. And, I'm glad you found something you liked.
BMR: (Big smile) It's always great shopping at Vickie's, my Dear.
