Things Fell Into Place

Today we were meeting at a restaurant to celebrate me.
Being SEVENTY! I chose the restaurant – six miles from my house.
I was the first one there because they had to drive thirty minutes. 
I had strict instructions. Ask for a place away from other people.
I did not ask.
The hostess led me to a private alcove that jutted away from the others.
I love it when things like this happen!
I got to look like a heroine to Eloise 
Who had given me the serious instruction. 
No use in telling her it was not my doing.
My three friends came in wearing masks.
They were the only ones wearing them.
I am glad to say that I looked normal like the others.
