Have you ever met a stranger that was so entertaining that you would like to add them to your list of people you always invite to your parties?

Mr and Mrs Gauntlet, from England, paid a visit to our store a couple days ago and made a lasting impression.

Mr Gauntlet was an tall, thin, elderly gentleman with huge yellow lowers. He must have forgotten his uppers at home. He swayed through the door like he had just polished off a few too many toddies, or maybe his legs were to thin to hold him up properly, I'm not sure which.

Mrs Gauntlet was a short little white haired lady with smiling eyes. And what a tease.

They carried on and joked around and talked about each other behind a cupped had in a hushed voice when the other was looking away...."He does this all the time, makes me crazy"

When they finally finished their business and said their goodbyes, I was truly sorry to see them leave.

I will look forward to our next encounter, or better yet, maybe I will call him up and invite him to our next cookout.
