Crazy Things Seem to Happen to Me

Palm Beach turned into a wonderful day. My husband took the photo of me with my brother and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law has recovered from breast cancer. I wanted to do something extra nice for her, so treated her to everything she bought. I even had a bag of cosmetic samples and perfumes made up for her. Next week we are booked for massages, manicures, and pedicures, my treat! She had us worried sick, but is a nurse, and made sure she received treatment immediately. Dinner was great, but a bit crazy. A couple at a nearby table chimed into our conversation quite a few times. Friends from our condo walked into the restaurant with their houseguest. They stopped to chat with us, but also knew that other couple who chimed into our conversations. At dinner, we met a film producer and his sister. They were so friendly. The sister lived in my home state, Paris, and now Palm Beach. She asked me repeatedly if I was a swimmer, and I don’t know why. Before she left, she handed me her card and wants to get together for lunch. I may just do it. Crazy things like this always happen to me. Do you think I should ask my sister-in-law to join us?

I would ask first if she wants to see you alone, as she invited you but not your sister-in-law, may be she has a personal reason.

@DianneN I know that you would love to bring her, but I think you should ask first.

Thanks! That makes sense, especially since she talked around my sister-in-law and didn’t speak to her at all directly.

I am sure your sister in law will enjoy her goodies you gave her and also you massages and manicure and pedicures. I agree with the others below do this one solo .

Thanks so much. I will ask that woman if she would mind first, and of course ask my sister-in-law if she’s interested.

That’s what I was thinking, but the woman never spoke to my sister-in-law. I should ask her if she would want to join us.

Your lunch sounds delightful. Those are the best kind of dinners when the conversation is good from all parties even the unexpected ones. I think you should ask your sister-in-law. I think she would love it. I'm so glad she's a cancer survivor. That's a great picture of you with your brother and sister-in-law. I love the beautiful jacket you found for the cooler weather.

Many, many thanks. The dinner turned out to be extra fun, although we were having a great time without the interference. lol Besides the divorce and losing Doodles, I spent months worrying about my poor sis in law. 2019 was not a good year.

@just4him We lost Kuma the year before among many other bad things - my granddaughter’s broken ankle, her adenovirus, my brother’s hospitalization for dehydration, etc. I’m optimistic about 2020. Thanks.

@DianneN No, it wasn't. Didn't you also lose Doodle's sister last year? Or was that the year before? I hope this year will be a lot better for you and your family. I'm glad it was extra fun.

You always have such good times and always make new friends. You are such a good sister-in-law to do all that for your sister-in-law. I think you should ask your new friend if it's OK to include your sister-in-law first before you go to lunch.

Thanks, Linda. I agree that if I make a lunch date, I should ask her. I should also ask my sister in law if she’s interested. Not sure if I will call that lady. Thinking about it.

That is a very good come back treat to your sister in law. I am so sure she will love all that pampering. Well about the lunch, I think if that lady is comfortable you can also take your sister in law with you.

@DianneN I really understand her emotions even if I am not in her shoes. It is very difficult and mentally draining to pass these stages.

Thanks so much! My sister-in-law went through hell and back, so I feel the need to pamper her as much as humanly possible. I’m still thinking about going to that lunch or not. Thanks!
