Once a week I meet with my old friend Cal at the local Dunkin Donuts Latte shop.
I have known Cal for decades, plus now that our kiddos are all grown plus moved out on their own, that friendship is more crucial than ever before.
Cal and I were close when we were young, plus now we are closer than ever as Grandparents. Only another Grandparent can fully understand the stresses plus challenges that come with it. Over the years Cal plus I have both changed in numerous ways, carol got heavily into drinking wine, for example, while I have previously favored using medical cannabis. Cal used to chide me about it, saying that medical cannabis was unbecoming for a Grandma. I had to chuckle at that, because while I subtly enjoyed the effects of cannabis gummies, Cal was staining her lips yellow by chugging wine all afternoon. One afternoon I invited Cal out for coffee, plus asked her to take one of my cannabis gummies, just to see what it was like. I said that once Cal had cannabis gummies she wouldn’t want to drink wine anymore. My prediction was not 100% accurate. Cal did have a wonderful time that afternoon, plus now she likes eating cannabis gummies plus drinking red wine at the same time. For such a seasoned lady, Cal sure knows how to party! One afternoon we want to buy some cannabis drinks from the weed dispensary, plus see how they compare to yellow wine. Now our usual date spot has moved from the local Dunkin Donuts Latte shop to the local cannabis dispensary cafe or the smokers lounge. It’s a lot more fun here.
