Two Ladies

 

Above is the pooped out Ernie after our walk. Ernie and I walk everyday. Our morning walk is the same route everyday. Our evening walk changes daily.

On our morning walk we have our neighbors who like to wave at us or stop us for a quick visit.  We walk past a 8 plex and 4 plex that are next door to each other. In both are ladies that like to wave to me and Ernie. This week we happen to talk to both of the ladies. 

We were just coming to the 8 plex, when the one lady was pulling out of the driveway. She stopped as she got close to me and Ernie. She yelled out her car window, "Hi Sweetie, what a lovely day." Another car was pulling out of the 4 plex. The lady talking to me said, "Oh that is Marlene, I better get going and get out of her way." Off she went.

Then that car slows down and yells out to me and Ernie, "Hi, do you know that lady?"

I reply,"not really, we just chat and wave when I for my walk, nothing personal."

"Well, I am friends with her, I live in the 8 plex, she lives in the 4 plex. I just want to warn you, you gotta watch what you tell her, she will blab."

I thanked her for the advice. She asked my name and my dogs name. She told me she was Marlene and off she went on her way.

I carried on with our walk, chuckling about the two ladies.

  3. What a funny story this morning, Carla. You never know who you can share things with. That's why I try not to give too much information around the neighborhood haha. Little Ernie is pooped out after his walk. I love that red plaid blanket. So Fall looking.

  4. LOL! It is so funny. how as we age we have no filters. I see that a lot in here since we live in a 55 and older community. Some of the older ladies at the pool just talk and talk about the one that is not there lol! I am with Ernie a well deserved nap after a walk is needed. Have a good start to the new week. Hugs. Kris

  9. Too funny. They probably both blab. I have a cousin who blabs about everything in the small town my mom lives in. Everyone in town knew about my mom before we could tell anyone. We knew it was our cousin "the party line telephone" of the town. LOL Janice
