Laundromat BFF

This husband and I...

Took a jaunt to the Ezy-Kleen Laundromat…the price you pay when traveling...this old gal was bummed….dilly dallied over coffee…got lost on the way…so the place was packed...

Watched the dryer tumble…noticed a woman doing the same...she was tiny…elegant…beautifully dressed...her dryer had broken at home….she was worried the dryers here were too hot…and her blouses would shrink….laundry expert me agreed they were hot...but told her...those classy 5 dollar Target shirts of mine...had emerged victorious last cycle...

Then we chatted…she’d taught 6th grade…L’Oreal worked great to cover gray...it was hard to stay slim as you aged…we were Laundromat BFFs...

I shared that I had just turned 60…she shared that TODAY was her birthday… she was much older than me…and they’d just come from a fancy breakfast…

She gave me a hug as she left…told this husband of mine what a wonderful wife he had…he had to agree since his bride was standing...right there…

And then she said…

Thank you…thank you so much….you were a God’s Blessing to me today...I’m so glad you were here…and she and her husband shared a smile as he took her hand…

So this was why we dilly dallied over coffee…this was why we got lost on the drive to the Ezy-Kleen… It was all about timing…

The right place at the right time…sent to someone on her special day…who for some reason…needed a Laundromat BFF...
 
And this husband of mine…agrees...
