A Lovely Afternoon

Hi Ms J.

I had a brilliant afternoon yesterday. It was my friend Jennefer's birthday. She's thirty-five. And loving it! To be completely honest, she gets better looking as she ages. More self-assured. And thinner! Just more beautiful, all round.


Our Jennefer. Ain't she gorgeous?

I drove (DROVE!!) over to Jenn's mum's place after my physiotherapy. She (Jenn's mum) has had some health problems lately, but she's persevered and come through it with a plum.

Hmmmm ... A plum? That doesn't look right.

Jenn's mum - her name is Donna - has come through her ordeal with aplomb. Yes, that's better.

Donna's a great lady. Hospitable. Indominable. Intrepid. She has a lovely apartment on the ground floor of a brand new senior's building only about ten or fifteen minutes from me. I arrived first and we sat outdoors and chatted while we awaited the arrival of Jenn and Jane. We all enjoyed salad and hamburgers for lunch and afterward, we adjourned to the patio again and shared more conversation.


Jane on the left. Jenn on the right. Doesn't Donna look proud?

Around three o'clock, we said goodbye and departed. I came home, while Jenn and Jane went off in search of a digital camera. It was after all, Jenn's birthday.

Happy Birthday, dear Jennefer. You have enriched my Life in ways you cannot imagine. Now, if you could just get your mother-in-law to fall in love with me ...
(More about that, later.)
