Girls Lunch...

Over the past couple years, there is a
group of gals who get together for lunch.
In the winter we try to make it once a month.
But then there is the holidays... and summer
well, you know how it is... family coming
and going...Vacations and etc.

So our lunches together are a hit and miss
kind of deal. But each time it is a great
gathering of stories, laughter, and just
catch up time.

We talk about our kids, because we
each probably met the kids at one
time or another. They were teens or
less at the time. So now they have
children of their own. Making all
of us grandparents now. Some of
us great grandparents. We talk
about what we are doing now
in our lives. Some of us are still
working..some are working part
time, and some have made it to
full time retirement.

The one thing we all have in common
is the place where we all worked
15 years ago or more. It is the oldest
of the still working nursing homes.
They are called health care centers
now. Some still work there, some
work for the competition that came
in to town 8 years ago. Some are
doing home health.

After we get finish catching each
other up with our lives and pictures,
there are the tales of how life
was when we all worked together.
The memories of fun time, sad times
and the great people we got to meet
and take care of.

So many times people come in to
your lives, especially at work place,
and leave. Some are scarily a
memory. And others are close
to the heart. And others are still
close to our hearts, even if they
have gone on before us..way before
their time.

So here is to the memories...
here is to the laughter ....
for we are the rowdy
bunch, laughing in the
corner of the restaurant
still blending our lives
together...
