Single and Ready to Mingle: Henrietta Manning
Apr 15th
Our featured eligible bachelorette is Henrietta Manning. This Canadian native is seventy-one years young, and in our opinion, doesn’t look a day over sixty. When she’s not spoiling her grandchildren, you can find her taking care of her eight cats. Henrietta is certainly not a catist, considering that she houses breeds from tabbies to calicos. In the winter, you can see Mr. Jingles, Gertrude, Kevin, and others trotting around the house stylishly in their warm, hand-made booties that were knitted by their owner.
Her cat apparel has been a real hit at her neighborhood church, and although Henrietta’s pair of hands are decades old, she can crank out a mean dozen pair. If she likes you enough, she’ll even make you a hair of mittens with a matching hat.
On the weekends you can find Henrietta at Blackout, the local bingo hall, playing anywhere from one to eight cards at a time. Henrietta is hoping to find her good luck charm so she can finally hit the jackpot in love.
