Wow, that was some conversation you must have had. Or were these observations overheard? This is such a great way to use a list. And that comment about the red Bentleys? Reminds me of what happened when I had lunch with my brother, the proud owner of a red Chrysler Crossfire; it was my slice on March 3: http://redemma1991.blogspot.com/2017/03/sol-3-my-brother-and-cars.html
ReplyDeleteConversation that I was partly involved in and partly observing. Mrs. Gilbert had lots on her mind :)
DeleteWow, I would love to be a fly on the wall during this conversation!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a range of topics. You must have been there a long time. Some of these items make me glad I am a teacher, with a simple life.
ReplyDeleteA wealth of information! And a great listener to take all of that in (a fennec fox might be your teaching spirit animal too!)
ReplyDeleteThat was a crazy mish mash of knowledge overload
ReplyDeleteI often find myself jotting words I hear other people saying when I am in a park, lobby, or restaurant. Usually when I am alone which is rare. But I love looking back at them. They often stir up a story. Sounds like Mrs. Gilbert was a treasure of information.
