– “We’ll Stay at Yours for a While Since We Can’t Afford to Rent Our Own Place!” – My Friend Told Me. I’m an Active Woman of 65, Still Visiting New Places and Meeting Fascinating People, Fondly Remembering the Days When You Could Spend Your Holidays Wherever You Liked—Camping by the Seaside, Sailing Down Any River, or Heading Off with Friends, All on a Small Budget. Those Days Are Gone, but My Love for Meeting New People Remains. Years Ago on Holiday, I Befriended a Woman Named Sarah; Years Later, I Received an Anonymous Telegram: “My Train Arrives at Three in the Morning—Wait for Me at the Station!” Confused, We Stayed Home, But by Four, Sarah Arrived on Our Doorstep with Her Two Teenage Daughters, Gran, and a Man—All Their Possessions in Tow! They Expected to Live with Us Because We Lived Near Town and They Had No Money for Rent. Shocked but Polite, We Let Them In. After Three Days of Cooking, Cleaning, and Serving Guests Who Brought Food but Never Cooked, I Asked Them to Leave—Leading to a Dramatic Scene and Broken Dishes. When They Left, My Robe, Towels, and Even a Large Cabbage Pot Had Disappeared! That Was the End of Our Friendship—Thank Goodness! I’ve Never Seen Sarah Since, and I’m Much More Careful About Whom I Welcome Into My Home.
Well need to stay with you for a while, as we cant afford to rent a place of our own! my friend blurted
