Cupcakes Retirement Home #1

by

Agatha sighed with exasperation. Irene was getting on her nerves, gleefully gossiping about their friend who was upset.
June's 91 year old boyfriend had dumped her for a younger woman of 72.

-The old fool, serves her right. Acting like a teenager! She couldn't see he is a player?
-Irene! Stop! She is upset enough as it is. Try putting yourself in her shoes before criticising.

Next morning, Irene met Agatha at breakfast. She whispered in a conspiratorial tone:
-I tried June's shoes last night but they didn't fit...

Agatha simply stared ahead, speechless, a disbelieving look on her face.

    Let me introduce you to Irene, Agatha and June, three feisty ladies of a certain age living in a happy retirement home, somewhere in England. I have always believe age is only a number and hopefully, our heroines will prove me right.

    What a super, fresh idea Frenchie. Sounds like June is well-rid of her boyfriend... he obviously goes for underage girls by the sound of it!

    I love the "younger woman of 72" line. Echoing Neville, this is a wonderful idea. Looking forward to the rest.

    I could do nothing but laugh as I imagined Agatha's face. Sweet!
