Home for Seniors #4
Wow, that was one hell of a game of dominoes. That session with Max, Al and Gene was really something. I sure wasn't expecting anything like to happen, but very happy that it did!
A trip to the city's Museum of Art was scheduled for a few days later. I had signed up for it figuring it was a way to get "away" from the Home and to see the many art treasures that are there. I had never been there before, looking forward to a nice day trip.
There was a group of 15 residents, including me, that met at the main lobby area of the home. The Home has a small mini-bus that holds 20, that even could be arranged to carry a few wheelchairs if necessary, waiting there to take us on the trip.
Gloria and Helen were among those going, and so were Gene and Al, from the dominoes game. I sat next to Helen, Gene & Al sat together, while Gloria sat in front of us with another lady from the home. So off we go, it was about a 30 minute ride to the museum.
Helen and I were chatting, exchanging pleasantries you might say. As we rode along talking, she rested her knee alongside my leg, sometime rubbing it against me. I asked her to if she would join me for lunch. She said yes, tapped Gloria on the shoulder, and asked her to join us, and she agreed. This would give me a chance to get better acquainted with them.
We arrive at the museum, enter through entrance way where our tickets were taken, which we paid for when signing up for the trip. Helen, Gloria and I walk together, as we are led on a guided tour of the museum. Al and Gene are together, along with the remainder of our group.
We are chit chatting, talking about the various pieces of art. We are in the area where sculpture is being shown. As we come to a statue of a nude male, Gloria snickers and says "Oh my, look at him, he has a real nice one there" and Helen and I share a chuckle too. Helen leans over and whispers to me, "Gloria is a little fox, isn't she" and sort of elbows me, as we walk along.
It is almost noon, and the group is ready for lunch, we are to meet up in an hour and a half to complete the tour of the museum. The three of us, head for the museum's cafeteria.
I tell the ladies that it's "My treat" as we go through the buffet line. We find a table, sit and start on our lunches. Of course we start to chat, and Gloria again makes note of the nude statues that we had seen, and giggling a bit. I mentioned something about the nude women and we all chuckled a bit. I noticed that both Gloria and Helen were kind of playing kneesies with me, and that was fine with me. Helen then says "Tim (that's me) I've heard that you like to, ahem, play with the boys. Is that true?"
I'm a little taken aback, but say "Yes I do, but I also like women, especially attractive ones like you two."
Gloria then speaks up, "Oh that is so good to hear, we thought that you might not be interested in associating with us girls."
