Now that I’m a senior citizen, I worry that my friends might
forget to show up when we make plans to get together. And rightful so, as it has happened on one or two occasions. Thus, recently when I made plans with four
friends to meet for lunch and then go to the local senior center to see, for
free, the movie, “The Descendants,” I called each one that morning to confirm
(or I should say remind them) of our plans.
Lo and behold, when I called Gloria, she said, “Oh my
goodness, I’m glad you called, because I’m afraid I did forget.” Fortunately the other two ladies said yes
they did remember and would meet me at the restaurant. So at 11:00, Gloria and Arlene arrived at
the restaurant. We waited awhile for
Joyce and finally, after 15 minutes, decided we needed to be seated and order
our lunch.
I couldn’t imagine what happened to Joyce, although, I know
she has had memory lapses recently. But
45 minutes later she did show up and told us she had met another friend for
breakfast and so just ordered a cup of coffee as we finished our lunch.
