[QUOTE="DDD, post: 571152, member: 35"] I was on the computer at 12:30 today and decided to send an email to an OLD friend who recently lost her husband. She and I have not seen each other in well over fifty years. Yes, you read correctly lol. She was a very nice girl when we were friends and in actuality we spent time together mostly in Jr. High which is sixty years ago. The phone rang and after getting up from the computer (mid email) an unfamiliar voice says "DDD this is X." Shock! "I am in your city with my daughter and granddaughter and parked outside your store. I thought you told me you worked ALL the time! Giggle!" Lo and behold Harriet asked if I could recommend a restaurant and if they could buy me lunch. I was still in my pj's and prepared to stay that way until tomorrow morning BUT I said "great". Fifteen minutes later I entered the restaurant and there was an "old" Harriet who likely thought I was an "old" DDD. We are both old, lol. The lunch was a pleasure. I am so glad I made myself go. Her daughter and husband are delightful college professors and her granddaughter is leaving for London next week for a year of independent study. Harriet was sweet and pleasant just as she was in 1952 or so. It was a lovely unexpected treat. :) DDD [/QUOTE]
