I once posted pictures of her here before, older, hippy woman. Now 80, fashionably dressed, took her for dinner a couple of times...
She's a regular.
And - today she's breathless, has something to tell me...
It's a long story, involving fallen trees, animosity with a married neighbor turned to secret crush, and - today - this very morning - the first time in over 20 years...
She got lucky.
And I have to laugh, she's over the moon, like a young woman again, and I'm talking about burning the scarlet "A" into her breast, and calling her the "Town Bike", and she's taking it in stride...
But really...80 years old.
There might be hope for me yet...
