Alice, well, of course this was going to happen all along.
Looking back, I do see it now. Debbie Banks is a formidable woman, and wasn’t she looking for a chink in my armor for YEARS?
I suppose she has found it, and that is fine by me.
She can have the position. I’m not sorry for my absence.
As I told you, I have had a long-term houseguest since the fall and garden club happens to fall at a time in the evening when the fish are biting.
My guest likes to fish in the evening before dinner and frankly I enjoy his company far more than I enjoy our meetings, which have become overrun with women more interested in chattering on about their bygone husbands, arthritic joints, and bowel movements, and munching on cakes and cookies than information about gardening.
I hope you don’t feel the need to step down from your own position as treasurer out of loyalty to me; Stay!
You have Mary in the club, anyway. If I had a daughter-in-law attending, I’d probably be on my best behavior.
(Well, probably not, but I will say if I had a daughter nearby I’d be with her every chance I had.)
