News In A Small Town Travels Fast!

Marlee and her family followed their new friends into town. Marlee loved nothing better than ice cream. She had changed her outfit to her favorite fuzzy pink vest and of course, she wore her pink sunglasses. Her outfit matched perfectly. The only thing she didn't have with her on vacation was her makeup. She hoped that she looked good enough to go for ice cream. She had not forgotten her Hollywood dream. She was ready for anything that might be fun and exciting.

When they walked into the cafe, Marlee immediately noticed some fun people. People that were  pretty old like Grandma Lu, but were laughing and wearing crazy things on their heads. People were taking their pictures and having fun.

There was one lady that she and Kane noticed. She was eating a big dish of ice cream. Kane told her that it was a banana split. The lady saw Marlee and her friends and grinned at them. They had no idea that she was a talent scout from Hollywood just passing through. She was on vacation like Marlee. But no matter where she was she was always looking for new talent for the movies, videos, or advertisements on television.

 Marlee had learned a lot from Kane. He had been very sick once and horses had helped him to get better.  It took a lot of work with his mom and dad helping him, but he eventually got better. He loved horses and living on the ranch with his family.  He had taught Marlee a lot about horses and life on a ranch.

Somehow someone had recognized the lady that was eating the banana split.
 The news was spreading around the small town that there was a talent scout at the local cafe. Some folks started looking for their best clothes and sunglasses hoping that they might catch the lady's eye and get a part or at least an audition for a movie in Hollywood. Everyone wanted to be famous!

If Marlee had paid closer attention, the talent scout was watching a pretty lady pushing a stroller with a puppy in it. She was taking its picture.

Where was that talent scout lady going on vacation? Surely not to Marlee's home town....
