MY FIRST VISITOR

(birds singing in the background, a soft breeze rustles the palms, Matty sips a mint julep)

"Madame, you have a visitor." "Really, Juan; I had not expected anyone today at my new home way up here in Ft. Lauderdale."

"Madame, I asked the fine lady's name and she replied, 'Just tell your mistress that I am a lady of great carriage and presence, immeasurable grace and demeanor, and sizable social magnitude"

"Oh, that must an elephant; invite Mrs. Astor in."

I wish I could take the credit for this, but the lady sent it to me in an email. Had to post it (with her permission) here . . .
