SHADES OF THE PAST...

Interesting how things go each day.  This morning I started out attending a funeral of a friend of mine that passed away.  After that I went to the reception and saw a lot of people that were mutual friends and had a deli lunch and talked to a lot of people that I hadn't seen for a while.

 I needed to leave the reception as I had a dental appointment, but first it was the car wash and gas station.  After that it was the grocery store to pick up bread, sour dough....a big story about that. then home to brush my teeth due to the fact that I had a dental appointment to have my replacement crowns put in.  I swear, I am now wearing my new sofa in my mouth that I haven't been able to purchase because of the expense.

Desi had told me he was coming straight from the airport to see me and I thought he probably wouldn't due to the fact that he had traveled all day across the country.  However, low and behold he did come and actually was on time.  I didn't return home from the dentist until five o'clock and was putting my garbage cans away when he drove up. There is such a connection between us, it is always like it is a brand new experience when we see each other..  Sometimes I wish I had never met him, he screws it up for all the other men I've met.  It is just way too comfortable when we're together.

Of course being true to form he could only stay a little while and then had to go home to repack to leave for Texas the next day in the early a.m.  He travels more then my brother, which is saying something.  He had a bad end of the week with his ex wife's funeral and attending to all of that. He said that he felt so much better seeing me and he was happy to be with me.   He left with promises of a date when he got back and told me he was cutting his time in Texas short because he wanted to see me sooner.  Hmmm, do you think I might be getting to him?  Maybe!  It is just so nice having someone that you connect with and have fun with without drama even if it is only once in a while.

To explain the sourdough bread, I made egg salad and cut up fresh fruit for Desi who was suppose to be here on Sunday..  He really likes sourdough and I thought I'd accommodate his preferences.  He ended up taking an egg salad sandwich in the car when he drove home on Monday.

After he left I had a phone call from a man, totally unexpected, that I've seen off and on for a while.  We are just friends, but I enjoy his company.  He asked me to join him for a drink and a snack and I thought, since it was early, why not.  It is so great to be free and be able to do what you want.  This meeting was nice and we caught up on what he was dong.  We have a good rapport and we are exactly the same age.  He doesn't want to get old either.  Maybe we are both retarded.

I almost forgot that as I was sitting at the car wash I had a cell phone call from a man that was coming to Orange County to play tennis and wanted to meet that night.  I was busy with Desi so I said that wouldn't work for me.  He then said he was coming down Thursday for business reasons and would I like to meet for coffee.  This guy is fifty, a little young for me,  but is very sharp verbally. I'm always up for  talking to people that have something on the ball  and have something to say, it is something I have always gravitated towards.  You learn something from everyone  you meet.

I'm off all the dating sites at this point but that hasn't stopped me from meeting or hearing from various people.  So today was shades of the past with me seeing two men and almost a third.  Do you think that might be wrong....Nah!  Life is to short and if you enjoy what your doing, do it.  Especially at my age....I'm making up for lost time.

Hugs,
