A Happy Halloween
Woman in the Middle | November 7, 2013On Halloween night we made our annual pilgrimage to E.J.’s house. E.J. was my mom’s best friend. Everyone thought they were sisters, even though one was a red-head from Arkansas and the other a brunette from Pennsylvania. E.J. made her traditional Halloween pumpkin pie and it was delicious as usual. What was so special about the evening is that E.J. is 91! You wouldn’t guess it to look at her. But then, E.J. has always looked and seemed younger than her years. She never smoked and was eating healthy long before it was the in thing. I sure hope I am whipping out pumpkin pies when I am 91.
E.J. is the one that predicted when I would be born. I was due in the middle of December but she told my mom that I would be born on November 25th. That is E.J.’s weddking anniversary and her daughter’s birthday. My mom didn’t believe it because November 25th was so far from her due date. Sure enough. I popped out just when E.J. said I would. Surprise! Well, a surprise for my mom, but not for E.J.!
E.J. enjoys a birthday surprise when another friend and I took her out for a birthday tea at a local hotel.
How sweet! I hope I am still active when I’m older. I think it’s great to see people still enjoying life.
You’re right, she doesn’t look 91.
