Beige
Why yes, I like it here very much. We saved all our lives you know. Maury was always saying, Maddie, we have to think about our retirement. We want to retire in style. Children? Well no, we talked about it but the timing never seemed right. Oh my yes, we were very successful. It was a lot of hard work but when we sold the business we made a lot of money. Maury didn't like to eat out. Maddie, he'd say, why would I want to spend money in a fancy restaurant when you're the best cook I know! No, we didn't travel. We planned on going to Europe, after we retired. That’s when we’ll really live Maddie, he said. But then things happened, Maury died... Well that was 20 years ago now. I still have our passports though. Do I travel? Well no. No, what was the point? I didn’t want to go places by myself. Well yes, I have friends, but they’re busy taking care of their husbands. And of course there is always the grandchildren. Some of them... well anyway... Do you see my little pugs? Of course they're not real, but I think they ad a spot of color, don’t you?
