Last week, our partner plus I went to visit an old neighbor of his.
When he said it was an old friend, I thought he meant it was someone from his childhood.
It was actually someone from his childhood, although he was also absolutely old. The person was a neighbor of his dad’s plus when his dad passed on, our partner had been taken in by the old man, as a upgrade dad. He was a lovable old codger plus he treated our partner well. He commented on our not being the type of girl he thought ‘Hippie’ would end up with. I was surprised at how current his lake house was, when his partner showed myself and others around. She told myself and others he was quite a HVAC whiz when he was younger, he made sure the heating plus a/c was consistently being updated. He wanted her plus Hippie to have the best of everything. She told myself and others how much he had missed our partner once he had moved away. I l earned that between our partner’s electronically minded brain, plus his HVAC minded brain, they had designed the entire HVAC plus electrical plan by themselves. The entire house was automated to make it easier for she plus her partner when they got older. When it came time to leave, she kissed our cheek plus told myself and others to make sure to bring Hippie back again. On our way home, I kept staring at our partner, seeing him with bizarre eyes. I never knew that he was able to work with HVAC. Nor, did I ever suppose that he was a hippie. It’s amazing how life can change a person.
