Francine, dear,
You won't believe who gave me a buzz this afternoon? Are you on the edge of your seat yet? Who have we not heard from in ages? Who left town in a frenzy and a huff? Who never even had the common decency to say good bye? That's right, Cookie and Art are back in town uttering their mea culpas to whoever will listen.
Lois and Evelyn phoned me as soon as they saw Cookie's Buick in Art's sister's driveway. Apparently Art's sister, Jean is not doing so well. She had another stroke last week and her daughter asked Art and Cookie to come out because, well, it doesn't look good. Remember Jean from the Black Velvet masquerade ball at the club? She was the gal who arranged to have Robert Taylor show up to meet the little girl who just recovered from polio.
Evelyn mustered up the nerve to trot across the street and Cookie greeted her at the door and then just burst into tears. Evelyn felt awkward at first and then realized Cookie's tears were genuine and she went inside to have a drink. Long story short, Cookie and Art want to get together with you, Jack, Lois, Evelyn, Joe, Shirley and me.
What do you think? Shall we let bygones be bygones? Let me know tomorrow. Remember you're swinging by for coffee and to pick up the silver for the event at the club.
Can't wait to hear about your reaction to the news. I know you'll have to consult Jack first. That's quite understandable, especially since (from what I hear) Art has yet to make amends for the broken lease agreement.
Fondly,
Vicki
