Hi Bev

Loved the picture you painted.

You should see my Saturday Night Girls, (You know the ones that haven't been girls in 60+ yrs.), getting up from our table after long dinner, in a restaurant. LOL! Each one, (me the loudest), and the collective sounds our joint(s), creak trying to stand up, to leave...the joint, (excuse the pun). We assist one another, grimace, in a comical, exaggerated fashion... to unfold from the chair-shape our backs have locked into position.

Claire, Harriet, Doris, Karol, & I, laugh at ourselves.

This is why it is so vital to cultivate friends of your age...we understand one another.
