Who's That Lady?

A 65 year old lady woke up yesterday in The Villages. She fetched the morning paper and drank her two cups of coffee while reading it. She dropped off two bags of supplies for the neighbor collecting things for Operation Shoebox which sends "care" packages to our servicemen and women in uniform. It was a gorgeous day so she decided to take the golf cart to her weekly Maj Jong game at the Rec Center. One of "the regulars" was  missing so she met a new lady who was alone and happy to fill in as a fourth. How they laughed! It was a wacky, wacky game and she had to assure the guest player that they are normally more on-the-ball. The new player laughed and agreed to play with them again next week (they had been wanting a fifth player).

Our lady came home and grabbed her hubby and headed out to the synagogue (by golf cart) to pay for the upcoming Shavout dinner. They are planning to go since a favorite couple invited them to go together. There were a few folks they knew there so it was nice to say "hi". Then off to Wal-Mart for a few supplies. 

Our lady and her hubby were thinking about dinner when another favorite couple called with an invite to join them for dinner at one of the nearby country clubs. Another quick trip by golf cart and a delicious dinner in a beautiful setting with congenial company. 

I have to pinch myself to realize that this perfect day in this perfect place was my own.
