Yes to intergenerational friendships! That's what I miss most about church: Rick talking about how he swooped his wife Linda from her fiancé (his best friend) 40 years ago or Bea tending the neighborhood bar in Nowheres, ND through WWII as a 14 year old girl cause all the men had been drafted. The gossip ages like fine wine.
My great aunt got married for the first time in her 80s (after breaking off many engagements 💅) and her stories about how she beat out all the other little old ladies at the Catholic church to win Verne’s affections were so funny. Many an octogenarian tried to seduce the handsome new widower in the congregation, but she prevailed.
One of her fiancées was a pilot and went on a mission to try and find Amelia Earhart, and I still remember her saying “of course, he wasn’t successful.” ☠️
You two are so cool!!!! I say this to myself everytime I'm reading your work. (Aaaand I would definitely come to your dinner party if I lived on the other side of Atlantic)

The dinner party totally depends on when I'm getting my paycheck haha, but as a new reader and aspiring cool girl (not in the Gone Girl type way, but the I want to grow into myself and love myself so much that other girls find me a comforting presence type of way), it sounds absolutely delightful.
I currently put my phone in my inside jacket pocket and I feel like James Bond every time I reach in to take it out…really recommend b/c I prefer it over my front jean pocket & you forget about it but you look super cool taking it out
I love a walk without headphones. It’s really fun to take in the sights and sounds around you and be present. I live in a quaint suburban area and have so much fun playing where’s Waldo with the community cats in the neighborhood and seeing the baby deer mill around with their mamas. (My dad also instilled a fear in me in college to go without because of mass shootings. A grim, prescient statement, since a mass shooting did happen there about ten years later. Sigh.)
my life always improves the minute I remind myself a) no one cares and b) almost everything can be solved by putting your phone down... and honorary c) other people's gossip is the best gossip
reading this cured my period cramps somehow. miss u guys
LOVE AND MISS U!!!!
