This morning as I was getting ready to go to the store for a few items , I was doing a quick brush over of my silver tresses and thought...oh, my, time to call the hairdresser for an appointment. The ends are all frayed and sticking up and just not nice to look at. So, off to the supermarket I went and as I went in a little old lady passed me and went to the vegetable department and tried to get some sort of packaged lettuce from a hight shelf.  At once I noticed her hair and honestly...it looked like it hadn't even been brushed. So, as I often talk to myself I thought "oh brother, is that what my hair is coming to when I get her age?". I went over to where she was standing and told her I'd help her get the lettuce down. I jokingly told her it's usually me looking for help and I always seem to want items on the very top shelves. Of course I was just about her height 4'11" and didn't know why I thought I could get it down. In her hand she had something that was wrapped in plastic and was long and flat...a complete mystery to me... but I told her maybe that would help. It did and down came the package. She nicely thanked me and looked at me with a "look" on her face...."Alice ? " she asked. I kinda frowned and you know that feeling... I must know her but how??" It's me Audrey". OMG ..So this little old lady that I was helping and feeling sorry for was a gal that I went to school with. I apologized for not recognizing her but it had been some time since I last saw her....she and her hubby came to a reunion a couple of years ago.We kept bumping into each other while shopping and got caught up on some things. All I could think of was the initial impression when I first saw her and thought to myself (again) "I'll bet when she gets  back home she'd tell her hubby that she saw me and how old I looked. I'm calling the hair dresser in a minute or two. Wonder if I should get a "blue color job." Maybe it will enhance my appearance. Do they still do that? But then as everyone says age is just a number and all in all I guess I'm doing pretty good if I can still help someone in my age bracket.
