Yes, it has finally become too much of a burden to keep her as a friend. First off, Lou, her father, stopped by for a visit\u00a0unannounced\u00a0<\/em> and stayed for 4 hours. Four depressing hours. He’s a very lonely sad man. The visit left us feeling \u00a0depressed. Then I get a call from Nan’s cousin Terry. Lou told him that if he’s driving to Denver, he has to stop and visit us since he’ll drive right by our store! WTF?! Terry spent 2 hours with us and that prompted the termination.<\/p>\n

I just can’t have her family just visiting us without barely a warning. I mean what if a visit from Terry would cause us to move to avoid the visit? Right? I’d need at least a months notice.<\/p>\n

The visit went fine. He arrived after we closed and I kicked him out, Beth style, just before 10. We relived old adventures and talked of families. He doesn’t look too bad, but he’s bald. I hear that happens to people our age, but other than some thinning I can’t see, unless its in a picture taken from the rear, I’m doing pretty good on the hair thing.<\/p>\n

I learned some interesting things about Lou from Terry. I’ll spare you all the details, but if you really want to find out, call Nina and ask her. She never could keep a secret.<\/p>\n

I am thinking of having Carl drop by Nan & Pat’s house on occasion to teach her a lesson on boundaries. Maybe Carl & Keith can tag team her.<\/p>\n

Oh well, peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
