He drives well for his age

Grandmaman is being courted by a small Greek man with a ponytail. He is about 83 and told her he drives well for his age and can take her anywhere she’d like to go.

Of course, I could not stop laughing. She said, “Stop laughing Christine. That is not funny!”

She then went on to rant about how these men are under your feet and want to be taken care of. And she likes her freedom.

She was not kind to him. But he is persistent. He left flowers for her. I think. Actually she said he left one thing for her. But what I heard was a blue vase, a red pot, and a plant, which sound like three things, two maybe if the plant is in the pot. I inquired of this slightly odd gift description and she said, now she has to be polite and thank him; and she doesn’t even like it!

She refused to give her phone number stating that she does not like to talk on the phone. She has also instructed all of her friends who drop by that they must announce themselves by name at the door rather than knock if they want an answer.

She claims this is a horrible annoyance, but sounded better than she has in two months. I am extremely pleased with this man.

She says his accent is worse than hers and that there are many more old women than men in her building; surely she can unload him on somebody.

Oh, and by the way, she won’t be dying, today. The CT was inconclusive, but it isn’t anything really, just her heart and lungs. I am not to worry. She has more problems than that, like a man.

J’adore la duchesse.
