Who Are The People In The Neighborhood?

Millie is David's fifth wife. She is about 20 years younger than he is. She is from the Dominican Republic. She speaks Spanish. She has a very thick accent and cannot be understood by anyone, especially when she gets excited.

David did not plan on marrying Millie. However, his Mother died(she was in her 90's) and David told me one day at the pool that it is not good to be alone. The next thing we knew, he had asked Millie to marry him.

David treats Millie like a servant. When they come out for the weekend, he has her cleaning the condo top to bottom. He has her washing the car. She makes him breakfast. Every Saturday and Sunday afternoon Millie can be seen carrying David's lunch to the pool. We all get to see his lunch. He eats a half of a sandwich. Then Millie takes the dishes back and washes them and comes back to the pool.

Millie sits in the shade at the pool because she is very dark. Unlike David, she hates the sun. If she didn't speak, you would think that she was a selective mute.

This is the worst time of the day for everyone . Millie speaks to everyone in a very loud voice. Forget about reading or sleeping!!! She also wants to know what activities everyone has planned for the weekend. But, you can't tell her because then she wants Jeff to take her to these places. Se gets angry. She yells. He just lays on the lounge to get sun. She is right. She has said that there is no point to come out to the condo and do nothing.

David purchased 2 bicycles. He and Millie do go bicycle riding to the corner. That takes about 30 minutes. One weekend, David invited his daughter and her now ex-husband. David and Laura went bike riding and Millie chased the bike!!

It's a sad life for Millie, but maybe not. She is divorced from a Greek construction worker. She has a son. Maybe this is better.

Like clockwork, on Sunday afternoon at 4:00 Jeff drives back to the city with Linda. Another weekend is over.
