Friday Fun: Sweet Little Old Ladies....

As an on-site manager, you tend to have a more friendly relationship with your residents, as they will stop by the office for coffee or just a friendly chat when they drop off their assessments.      This week one of our residents forgot to put the amount on the check, since they live on property, we called and let them know of the problem and asked if they could stop by the office the next time they were in the area.....

What a delight when the sweetest little old lady showed up at the office about her check.    A gentle little bit of a thing with a southern lilt in her voice.  You could just tell she had been raised on cotillions and sweet tea. 

"...Ya'all were so kind to give me a call about this little mix up, but if ya'all would have come by the house,  I would have made you some cookies and we could have enjoyed some lemonade. (reading this you just have hear the syrup sweet southern drawl and gentle grandmotherly demeanor that would make any Dallas debutant melt into a "Yes mam".)  "It sure is nice to get out an meet ya' all, and it is  such a lovely day.  " 

Turning to the woman who came in the door with her -  "This is my daughter, you see at 89 I don't drive much any more,  it was so kind of her to bring me by to meet you folk."   "Honey child, would you go to the car, I seem to have left my glasses there - I can't see a thing without them."

As her daughter walks out the door, "grandma" turns back to us, pulling her glasses from her purse, "You know, I am getting up there in years, and my daughter doesn't think I am up to handling all these things.   So she is trying to help and  I let her handle my bills this month, bless her heart if she didn't F**K it up the first time!   I'll take care of it from now on."
