    Tea Time

    Hell-o all,

    A sister of a friend of mine [from the coffee shop] has opened a Tea Shop in an area of town that is called Antique Row. I have visited several times and found it rather enjoyable, good tea and scones, just out of this world.

    Well anyway I walked in and Lisa introduced me to a neighbor of hers [an older lady in her late 80's]. She leaned over to Lisa and asked "Did you hire that sexy Kilted guy to drum up business?" Lisa and I gave her a smile and then said "he does wear the Kilt all the time." "Nice, very nice" came the reply.

    Sounds like she was one hot momma.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Your story had me wondering if there is some magic age at which people can start to shed all of the silly hangups we've been so heavily conditioned to in our lives and, like young children, start to be honest with our thoughts again.

    Cute story.

    Yeah blu, the age might vary but usually at retirement folks kinda stop caring what other people think to a large extent. That, I think, is because the opinions of others no longer effects their ability to make a good living. Before retirement social standing is important, after retirement it's far less of a consideration.

    At last!!! Glen, I knew you would see the light eventually, I've not said anything..trusting that your good sense would eventually win. ..not that I didn't enjoy the coffee shop, we had a great time, but..being British you know my preference is for tea (something I really didn't think americans could make).
    So now you are frequenting a tea shop.

    Let me say that I am happy for you, and I promise that on our next journey to Denver we shall meet around a proper cuppa tea!! (as is fitting).
