An Old Brown Leather Address Book..by Michael

10 Years Ago


Randy discovered and old brown leather address book which he forgot that he had and kept throughout the years. A memento of names added and scratched off during the 70's when he was young and bar hopping. He thumbed through the tiny pages with faded but readable ink. All the names were scratched though except for his last entry. She was the only face and name that he could actually remember. Randy went to visit the old neighborhood from back in the 70's and found that the same bar then still existed now. He sat on his favorite stool and sipped on his old favorite drink. The lady next to him noticed he was staring at an open address book. She saw her name Rhonda was on the last page.  A purse was opened and she took an old brown leather address book which she forgot that she had kept throughout the years. It was opened to the last page as she stared at the last entry Randy. That was when she introduced herself once again as he remembered exactly who she was. This time they never lost touch with other. The bride told her story to the guests at their wedding one year later. Then they both held up an old brown leather address book....Maybe there is more than one item missing over the years. It turns out on two stools where they first met a long time ago, along with an old brown leather address book......
