A Gentleman Caller

 Such an old term but it just kind of fits. He's a very nice man,  Edmund King, but I just call him King.  I spoke to him as he was passing once,  he goes for a walk by our house every day and I spoke to him one day as he was going by, I think I asked him why he walks so much?, and he replied something like "I have to if I want to look good". I told him that it was working fine and somehow he next said that he was 65 years old! That just floored me because I was thinking he was maybe 40. And he liked that!! He said he's be by to talk again and now we speak quite often. Today he acted surprised that I am actually 2 years older than him, and how in the world could he really believe that! but it was nice of him to say it. He owed me one 😏. He asks to go out, out to eat,  to a day spa, anywhere and today I agreed to going for coffee. He said he'd like to go today but I really don't want to do that.  I'd like to "clean up" to go out and I am just exhausted today. I knew rain was coming so I worked on getting as much of the garden in as I could until 2 hours after dark last night. When the rain hadn't got here yet I worked some more until the first rain drops became actual Rain. I just want a nap right now!! because I AM almost 67 years old 😅.
