Kenny says, I talk to everyone. He's right. I can't help myself. It seems I always have something to say. When my mom was alive, I would fly back to New Jersey four times a year to visit. When Kenny would pick me up at the airport (remember the time you could meet someone at the gate?) I would get off the plane in Los Angeles saying goodbye to half the people on the plane and the crew. Well, this leads me up to how I met Alice my angel. We work out at the same gym and have been seeing each other there, over the last year. We chit chat about anything and everything. It makes our gym experience that much more interesting, and it goes faster. One day we're talking and Alice tells me that since she was retired, she spends some of her time visiting a few senior citizens to help them with a meal, or just to visit now and then. No kidding. Alice said that she and her husband Steve were always so thankful when friends of theirs would visit their parents. Now they had the time to give some of that back to others. Real people. Kenny and I were going away on vacation in a couple of weeks. I asked Alice if I could hire her to take my mother-in-law Edie, out to lunch while we were away? She suggested we all get together for lunch. Two days later Edie, Alice and I were having a girl's lunch out. We all had a great time getting to know one another. When we said goodbye, I took Edie home. Edie said she loved Alice. She's one of the nicest people she'd ever met. It was ditto for me. I enjoyed Alice's company, too. I emailed Alice later that evening, telling her how much we enjoyed our lunch. Alice wrote back that it would be her pleasure to take Edie to lunch. In fact she wanted to take her out twice. Once alone and once with her husband Steve who was from New Jersey. Alice knew Steve and Edie would have things in common being from Philly and Jersey. Twice. They wanted to take Edie out twice? Who were these wonderful people? While we were away Edie had a wonderful time with Alice and Steve. They took her to their home, where they brought their dogs out to meet Edie. She loved every minute of it. And the lunches weren't bad either. When we got home Edie couldn't stop talking about these two angels. I emailed Alice to thank her and Steve for being so kind. It takes special people. Kenny and I had dinner with them the following week and now we all have new friends. Alice and Steve still make special lunch dates with Edie. Alice and Ellen still make special dinner dates with Steve and Kenny. Did we get lucky, or what? |
