We decided to check some of the small ocean front shops, you know a tourist trap type. Becky and I walked looking without much interest as we passed bait shops, Island boat ticket sales, Motels, then The Island Apothecary.
A bell tinkled as we entered, the place looked clean and had the normal over the counter medicine. Becky noted it first, a isleway that said Home Remedies and Potions. We both giggled as entering a old part of the building. The floor was concrete painted a dark red and the shelves were made of unpainted barn boards.
"Hey, Becky look here, 'Waiting Room' I wonder for what?" Just then a soft voice says " Ladies are we interested in some remedies or a potion of any kind."
As we turned to look I said "WOW", she stood about 6'1" a slender but well, very sexy looking woman about 45 years of age. Becky asked first, " Do you sell tickets for the boat to the Island amusement park?"
"No, she said I sell these items and if your looking for strange amusement's I can offer many right here."
"Amusement's, that sparked Becky's interest, like what?"
The lady strolled over to a shelve 'Sensual Thrills' as she waved her hand in a style like a showman.
As Becky pawed over the strange if no dumb sounding labels on Mason jars like 'This will put hair on your ass' and 'Build furmed body' or
my favorite was 'Circe's boy friend' potion.
As I turned Becky was purchasing something and both the lady and Becky were laughing.
"Oh Miss, The lady called to me, have you found anything of interest?"
"No, I said these potions are a little wierd for me."
"Come and have a free coffee for your walk through town."
Becky rushed right over and prepared the coffee's as she put the cream in mine I thought she had made it mostly cream and a little coffee. As Becky handed me the good smelling cup I took a sip and the place went in a circle.
"Hey Maree, as is about fainted, You best sit down kido."
"Yes both of you come and sit in the waiting room, I'll get another coffee," since Becky spilled her coffe when I almost fainted.
My head was spinning and I felt all numb.
