I Made a Friend Today

Walking home from the accountant’s office this morning, I happened to encounter a neighbor, Doris, and we happened to fall into a conversation, which grew into a highly satisfying natter… I think we were out there on the sidewalk for at least half an hour. You can learn a lot about each other in that time.

I’m very glad. See, we’ve been running short of people with whom to chew the fat–nothing I like better than a good natter. Doris has been around the block, seen a lot, and thought it over. I’ll have to bring out another lawn chair for her.

Funny: we’ve lived next door to each other for years, but this was our first real chin-wag.

Never too late to launch a friendship, is it?
