May insisted we visit, so last night we went to May's for dinner. When I say an old girl friend, I mean it, May is 83. May killed two husbands with kindness. Now this may not seem possible, but if you visit may and you are one of her sweethearts, you can see how it may have been so. First, you art told to sit in one of those special chairs that electrically lifts you up and down. Once you have been instructed about how to use the buttons, you recline and May removes your shoes. A blanket is placed over you, and a heating pad is put behind your back. Next, you request a beverage and the remote control is placed in you hand for the television. Mean while May lays out the Kentucky fried chicken with all the trimmings. After dinner you get back in the chair and readjust the heating pad. May plays the piano and you drift off before the evening conversation begins. Don't ever let anyone tell you older women don't have charms.
May is full of life and her mind is sharp. May hates bugs, snakes, and anything small coming into her house. At every door are special sticky strips to catch intruders. The best defense doesn't always work. May explained how two small snakes got in her house and she had to stand on the dinning room table until the neighbors could rescue her. May like to party, and invited us to a couple more get togethers. We even got an invitation to a cookie exchange.
