unexpected hello in Second 1st

So, I’d done the update.... this morning I’m going to talk about Miss Patty. Well, this should not be a recurring character in my life but strange occurrence.

Rocky was asleep, as usual, on Thursday around 11 a knock at the side door. Took me a moment to get up as I was in my recliner crocheting the last portions of that neck pillow. I open the door and it’s an older lady (60-65) asking about the van. We talked for nearly an hour, standing in the sun. I could tell you a bunch of unimportant details about her life.... like she’s been with the guy she’s with for 10 years they live together but don’t have sex and aren’t married. She’s got stage 4 bone and breast cancer and her partner works while she smokes and drinks beer all day (her words not mine lol). She’s working on a bucket list and thought that the “Nashville Scene” might be a source of help with at least 1 of the things on her list. Obviously it can’t hurt to stop by knock on a neighbors door and ask. They aren’t big on social media being a little older .... well she made it sound like you can’t teach an old dog new tricks .... but then took a moment to talk about her partner using YouTube to fix her car also that he will occasionally watch twitch.

We talked about my situation too for a moment and she invited me to her place but had left her phone in her car.... which she had parked on the other side of the fence. Just, walk over and knock, anytime, we’ll sit on the back porch and “shoot the shit”. I have no real intention of doing that though she made sure to point her house out.

After Rocky got up we went and did our last bit of Groceries for the weekend and got something to eat. I told him I was already tired and he said it was because of the unexpected social event. Sad but likely true.
