Dear blkhwkdwn1:

You don’t want to take too much of her time, not realizing that spending time with you is a treat; not considering you will be benefiting her (yes!) by being with you . Where is my confidence in stating this coming from? From the correspondences with her that you posted and from my own correspondence with you: it is a pleasure to correspond with you!

Ask her to have coffee once a month or more often. Suggesting the exercise class (as I understand it is) is a good idea too.
