Today Jessie & I had lunch with my sister and a few of my cousins.
We were the
group of loud ladies laughing and having fun at the Olive Garden. The ones who stayed forever......
It was a time
to reconnect and regroup. I heard two of them talking and saying I haven’t seen
you since high school. I might add everybody there was retired except two of us
and we are quickly reaching early retirement age. But I must say we are aging Beautiful!
For some of us it has been years
since we were last together.
We talked about changes and how things are
different. The retired folks talked about life after working for so long and
new work ethic of Gen X was discussed. A
few reminiscences about bobby socks and stockings were told.

The lady who approached us was also a survivor,.... who's work involves research for Breast Cancer.
We quickly gave her one of Jessie’s
Bags and our business card.
We told them about Jessie’s bags and how we work
with nursing home residents to get volunteers to make parts of the bags... Two of the ladies she was eating lunch with
work in nursing homes. Wow…. What a day!........................ Who knew our loud fun time at lunch would
help us meet people we hope to see again who will support Jessie’s Bags…
These ladies may be
able to help Jessie’s bags grow and reach out to even more folks.
I had planned to talk the retired family members into
joining our volunteers… LOL
I am always recruiting… even the cousin in Florida…
we need a southern division….OH!!….. The possibilities….
My sister said you are just like Daddy… an entrepreneur….. I
guess I am …Jessie always says
you are just like your father……..
I so enjoyed Lunch..................
