That’s what friends are for…
As I was listening to my current favorite Podcast (Happy Hour with Ruth & Roxy at https://happyhourrr.com/) this morning, I realized how blessed I have been in the friend department. As I listened to Ruth and Roxy their friendship, a delightful memory was sparked.
From 1979 until around 1984, my friend Ginger and I worked
for the same company. I was in customer service, and she was the purchasing
agent. At one point we even shared the same office with our desks butted up to
each other. We spent a lot of our time outside of work hours together as well.
The memory that came up today was when Ginger and I used to
take our lunch break and eat at a local park. We would sit in her car and
pretend we were private detectives on a stakeout. We would make up stories about the
people at the park or in the nearby homes. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
And the fact that we could spend time together doing
something so out of the ordinary is one of the reasons our friendship has
endured over the years. Her sense of humor is the BEST of anyone I have ever
called friend. She is not one to get up and speak in front of crowds, so her
family and friends end up as the beneficiary of her wit.
Everyone totally needs a friend who will turn ‘lunch in a
car’ into an espionage adventure.
