We made a new friend today. An elder gent sitting right next to us in a restaurant we were dining in.
He was alone and we struck up a conversation that was so enjoyable and lasted all through our leisurely meal. He is a young 86 year old with a twinkle in his eye. He invited us to visit him at his beach house next summer.
He told us where his house was, said we should r
ing his bell and stop in for a drink if we find ourselves there. We shared stories and he lit up when, as we were leaving, I asked if I could give him a peace dove. 🕊
All told, shared 6 doves today during our outing. Folks really seem touched by someone giving them a symbol of peace. â¤ï¸ðŸ•Šâ¤ï¸
I also thought my 86 years old new friend would be a good match for my 82 year old good friend. He actually seemed interested. I have a pretty good matchmaker record: 2 couples I introduced a long time ago wound up getting happily married. 👰🻠💕 🤵ðŸ»
