Yesterday my new to me walking buddy and I had a misunderstanding which resulted in me being stood up. I got home to find that she had tried to apologize- didn't realize that I don't have a smart phone and didn't see her message until I got home to the computer.
This morning Rufus and I met her at the little neighborhood store. We three walked down a very pleasant alley about three blocks before heading back. Pleasant woman. We plan to try it again tomorrow after I get out of physical therapy. We're on the same wave length when it comes to walking ability. We both use canes. She has hip issues. We both know we need to walk but can't hike up mountains. We both walk at about the same rate of speed. So much to think about when you walk with someone! Besides personality, so much to figure out.
The photo is mine. It shows the vintage light fixture that I just had installed above my wooden staircase.

@jefferson126 Good to hear from you. Neither of us were embarrassed at us using canes.

@shaggin Good questions. I found it on ebay. I have seen others kind of like it in the antique stores in my downtown. Funny story about the walking buddy: a set of religious women offered to help people for free. My walking buddy answered that she just wanted somebody to walk the block with her. I butted in and said :Me, too!!

@somewitch Thanks. I have never found making friends to be easy and it sure isn't when you're an adult.
