Hello, Estes, it's me, Gloria.
Estes, I gotta tell you what happened to me.
Well, Estes, Eunice and I volunteered to take our dear friends Wally and Kittylicious to the airport last week.
They were taking a vacation to get away from it all. (by "all" I personally think they needed a rest from their four grown children and the drama only girl children can whip up in their lives, you know what I mean , Estes?)
So there we were with Eunice behind the wheel, driving like a maniac trying to get them to the airport in time.
I want to go on record here Estes, it would be in the best interest of all mankind if someone called the DMV and let them know that a certain someone whose name rhymes with pumice should give up her right to drive, you know what I mean Estes? I mean really, there should come a time in a girl's life when she realizes, "I just can't do the things I use to". Let's just say we are all lucky to be alive today Estes!
Anyway, here's what I gotta tell you, dear. We pulled that Ford Fairlane right into that spot and who should zip up in that airport shuttle that resembles an old Disneyland cart, but the airport courtesy man. For Pete sakes Estes, that shuttle never stopped for me when I was a blond , you know what I mean? Our grey heads must have shouted "I'm old and feeble". Well, Estes, while I was madder than a hornet, I was gracious and stepped on to that contraption. It nearly snapped my neck off when he took off like he was driving in the Indy-500. But I made my point Estes, he didn't get a tip! Eunice was trying to engage him in a conversation, but I don't think he was interested in her tomato garden.
That's the trouble with the world today, Estes. People judge a book by it's cover. While I admit my cover might look like "The Fall of Roman Civilization", The inside still feels like "Cinderella", you know what I mean Estes?
Have a good day, dear. I'll try to write again soon.
Love,
Gloria

Dear Gloria,
ReplyDeleteAnd to think, all this time I've been calling that thing a "puhmiss", when it really should have been "poohmiss". Geez! Goes to show, you're never to old to learn (maybe to old for some things, but never to learn!).
Your Friend,
Gertrude
ps I wasn't sure if you got my last post about the exercise video, but for reasons having to do with a certain someone I mentioned, I wanted to ask where you got the snappy little outfit. I could use one just like it for my class!
