Sometimes All We Need Is A Pesky Friend Who Won't Take No For An Answer

These winter Texans here…

Hail from all over…Wisconsin…Minnesota…Iowa…Canada…Carrie…Mary…Jerry…Gary…Mary…Jerry…Mary…Mary Ann…Ralph…Rosy…Robin…John…Jay…Wayne…and more…and then…there is…the Queen…the Queen…of Kindness…lives directly above this husband and I…drives an adorable brown mini car…deemed…the chipmunk…

She’s cute…delightful…chipper…and won’t take no…for an answer…invited us several times…to the gatherings…joined her a couple of times for happy hour…declining each time…for the potluck…always had an excuse…not hungry…just ate…not our thing…but the Queen…Queen of Kindness…worked her magic…hearing in the office…it was someone’s birthday…

Showing up an hour later…with flowers…and an invitation…I bought a cake…she said…for the potluck…for your birthday…will you come…and so…we did…both of us…this old gal introducing that husband of hers…people joking…they thought he’d been made up…it was awkward…but not so bad…with someone…at your side…

That Queen…Queen of Kindness…dragging us oddballs…into the fold…finding a way…we couldn’t say no…and it was fun…so much fun…this old gal knows exactly…what she’s taking next week…

And anyone who’s tried those fabulous baked beans of mine…would agree…
