You know my Joe never noticed flowers I could go out pick a bouquet put it on the table and he'd say, what's for supper Caitlin said

Men lord they're impossible until they're gone. A woman said

Did you hear all those new miners who came to town and bachelors Fiorentina said

I saw them they're staying in the rooms above the saloon Elisabetta said

How did they look Fiorentina said

Wet and dirty Elisabetta said

Well, they're probably all drifters and troublemakers I'm not sure I like that kind of element coming into Valley Spring Fiorentina said

Well let's not be too quick to judge my husband wasn't a chivalrous man but he provided just fine for Caleb and me Mary said

You're right Mary we all know how hard it is to find a good man Abby said

Or a good father for our children. Carla said

Oh, Carla, I think it's time that we get you home and get you into bed so you can get some rest oh! There we go there we go. Abby said
