How are you doing, Mama? Oh, not so very bad. I’m sore down in my lower back from the tumbling fall I had. I’ve been right busy lately. Played Bingo the other day. Didn’t win a single dime But had fun, so that’s okay. The Red Hat Club ate at Rosie’s. I got indigestion and gas. And when the whole thing was over, I had to get back really fast. Are you going to come to my luncheon? I know you’ll enjoy it so much. Louise is bringing her daughter, Sally. Y’all need to get back in touch. Are you playing Bridge today, Mama? No, one of our foursome died. Until we can find somebody else, I guess our hands are tied.

Knowing you as I do, I'm guessing this very conversation, or more likely SEVERAL versions of it, are for real....Great verse Janet.

When an actor is said to be 'in character' it means that he has been convincing in the role he (or she) has played. You wrote this perfectly in character. Well done.

This is so realistic. It reminds me of my great grandmother (Thanks for that). You captured the theme perfectly.
