They had the same hair dresser. She was coming in as he was going out. He asked for her phone number. She gave it to her hairdresser to give to him. There aren’t too many eligible men in their seventies, especially one that still had his hair! Garth took Gladys to a nice Japanese restaurant.… Continue reading It Just Depends

Her Date with a Cad
Against her better judgment Svetlana met up with a man from Match, and he met her expectations of a cad.
