There's nothing better than meeting up for a hearty lunch. Remember my Lady friend of 92 years old she is a Gem. Quite amazing for her age . Her husband finally ended up in a care home. He's been there now for 4 months , alas this doesn't bring joy to my friend. Spending nights alone and missing those early morning cups of tea , and a hearty chat. Often I pick her up and off we go to the restaurant for lunch . Enjoying fresh farm veg and potatoes and a lovely roast Lamb. It's funny I take apple juice and Betty takes a small wine , The waitress always makes the mistake , and puts the wine in front of me...:)
Looking quite happy by this time and laughing at my stories. It comes apparent these are the things she misses most of all. The times when they used to go dancing , always brings a smile to her face.
Waving goodbye she thanks me and tells me she's looking forward to our next Lunch Date.
We share a hug :)
A few Blooms to lighten your heart
Love that yellow rose!

Love your Amaryllis. It's great that you are friends with this 92 year old lady. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, remembering your friend with lunch! xoxo
This lady is truly amazing and we have so much in common. Thank you all for your comments. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely lunch! Thank you for sharing with us. Those flowers did lighten my heart indeed :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet that you take your friend to lunch. I'm sure she enjoys it so, especially with her husband being away. My grandma is turning 90 this summer and I love to have lunch with her and hang out.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blooms!
Well hello there Sheila. Just had to come and have a visit after you leaped across the pond to say hello, and wish me a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are all very pretty, and cheers ones heart to see them. It has been a long winter this year. Yea! Spring has arrived finally. I was down by the Bay the other day and my Swans have arrived back and checking out their nesting grounds. Soon the miracle of new birth will begin all over again. Someone told me they seen 8 swans flying over and believe them to be the swans that were born last Spring, and I think they are right.
I was at Presqu'ile Provincial Park back in Febuary looking for owls and to my surprise saw some swans flying over the shore of Lake Ontario, and I was able to capture them. The photo on my header is one of those swans. It was such a pleasant surprise. I was thrilled indeed.
Well there you go, I think I just wrote a blog on your blog. Ha!
Thank you ever so much for thinking of me and dropping by for a visit. And, I hope you have a very Blessed Easter.
Sending Hugs across the pond.
Dianne :)
She sounds quite healthy for 92. It's wonderful that the two of you have found each other.
ReplyDeleteSharing time with your friend is a priceless gift.
ReplyDeleteMy amaryllis bulbs are defunct, I believe, so I'm happy to view yours. :)
pretty flowers!

Hi Pen thank you glad you made it , Betty is a wonderful lady when she visited her husband in hospital , They said well I have never met a lady in her 90's that look like you !

Hope you and Li'l Lucy are enjoying good weather Sheila, we've had sunshine with wild winds trying to topple us over. I'm just watching a squirrel eating peanuts from our bird table, ... and now he's gone... Wish I'd had my camera nearby... hugs and woofs to you both.

What a lovely post and gesture Sheila, I hope that if I got to that age or near it, that someone would be kind to me, though i'd like to think my family would make sure I wasn't lonely.
