Popular Post Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 16, 2020 after the Cardiologist visit. Wo7 and I went to a local bar and grill and ate outside. Sitting alone at a table next to us was an older woman wearing a mask. She was wearing a knitted sweater. My wife asked if she had made it. No, someone gave it to me. That started a conversation that went on for a while. Wo7 had brought some masks that she was sewing for kids for the county volunteers. The lady complimented the masks so Wo7 gave her one. She was joined by another older lady and they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other in two years. The friend received a mask too. The first woman, is turning 90 in October and brought her friend a cookbook that she had put together. She did this every decade starting 40 years ago. Her friends send recipes with stories about her/them. She put it all together and published cookbooks. She gave us a copy. Here’s s pic of Sharon (right) the author, Jackie, her friend on the left and Wo7 in the center. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have told it better though. I was not sure how he felt at various points in the story and just had to assume he felt nice due to the title inference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your a lucky man Old 7 We had a great conversation with Shirley and Jackie. We met as strangers and left as friends. I swear that if I showed up at either one's door right now I would be fed and have a place to sleep and vice versa. Wo7 and I value and encourage those interactions. Treat people like you want to be treated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
