Silly old Gertrude, trouble is, young men aren't remotely interested in elderly women, unless they are completely deranged, but Gertrude is a friend who will stick, not get carried away...I think! Beautifully written, blessings Roy

Thanks so much. Gert is a gossip at heart. Gretchen

Yep.
Comment from damommy
I love it. The way Iris told off Gert was perfect, and I love it that she's enjoying her fifteen minutes of fame as a geriatric harlot? This one may be short, but it's priceless,

Thanks so much. I really appreciate this kind review and rating. Gretchen
Comment from Wendy G
Gertrude really doesn't know Iris very well if she believes those rumours, and silly spectators exaggerate what they see and like to put ridiculous meanings into their twisted interpretation of events. When Gertrude finds out that Iris is leaving her home to Jameson she will assume the worst. Very well written, authentic.

Thanks so much, Wendy. Gert will probably assume many things. Lol. Gretchen
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
It's a very good short one. She was right not to expect much help from Gert. Her "friend" was willing to believe gossip and did not shut the gossiper down. Jamison is a blessing in her life.

Comment from nancy_e_davis
Don't apologize. Short is a blessing to these poor old eyes at the end of a long day. LOL I just stopped by to see who has posted and I saw your post. I hate gossip. I just don't know why people have to make up stories and spread them around. I suppose it makes them feel important. This is a good example of such. UGH> Hugs. Nancy:)

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Gertrude is very rude to Iris. Is she a friend or family? I can't remember reading about her. I have bad memory. I just remember Iris mentioning they were having lunch... a casserole. In any case, she was rude and intensive. I was afraid Iris was going to have a heart attack. Gossip can be painful. I try to stay away from gossipers. I can see how someone would misinterpret Iris and Jameson's friendship but only the people who don't matter.
Where are Iris family members? I don't think they are good to her.
Well done. I'm enjoying your book. I look forward to the next chapter.

Gertrude has been in a couple of chapters. Iris is alone. She mentioned some nieces and nephews who only send a card at Christmas. Thanks foe this. Gretchen
Comment from Ric Myworld
This chapter isn't very long but it hits home enough that most of us can relate to the situation and people's reactions. LOL. Thanks for sharing. ..............................................

It's a given that we've all dealt with gossip. Thanks so much for this awesome review. Gretchen
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
As always your posts are entertaining and lively and this one is no exception. Iris and her friend Gert have a good solid friendship and are able to sort out their differences without it affecting their future. People do gossip and love to make things up and they are also envious of others who make a connection with each other. My town is not as intimate as this and most things go unnoticed. Much enjoyed Gretchen, love Dolly x x x

Thanks so much. Small town gossip or TMZ. It's all speculation. Gretchen
Comment from pome lover
well, I don't think Iris should've felt bad at all, Gert deserved it, in my opinion. I guess you were adding some discord as the story has been going along so nicely. Iris and Jameson's friendship, however, seems to be right up the gossips' alley.
Just a suggestion, if I may. 4th sentence down, could you please say "Where I am now." ? Up to you, naturally, but to me, it would read on a par with the rest of your writing.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
I truly enjoyed reading this. My husband is younger than me by almost 8 years. It's different when women are older even by a day yet men marry much younger women and no one says a thing. Even in my family men were ten years older than wives And that was normal yet if a woman marries a younger man shes bad. The rest of your chapter was fun and interesting too. I love the descriptions and your duologues are very authentic. Best wishes!
