What can I say about my friends Linda and Ali?
 |
| Sorry, this is an old photo...they took an awesome one at the lunch I recently missed but I can't find it. :( |
- we met about 14 years ago when we all worked at P&G together
- even though we covered three decades in age (not going to mention which ones!) we discovered we were all pretty awesome and knew we were going to be friends.
- after entirely too much fun at WHTC we separated to different sites and brand new jobs but decided to work at maintaining our friendship.
- we decided to meet twice a year for lunch - and have been doing this for... what? Seriously, I have no idea when we started this...but we've been consistent and it's always great!
- Even though we only officially see each other 2 times a year each time we get together it's like we just saw each other...no time passes.
- But, our lives have changed greatly over the years.
- weddings
- babies
- grand-babies
- boyfriends
- degrees
- new jobs
- lost jobs
- kids moving home
- kids moving away from home
- husbands retiring
- laughter, tears, more laughter
- lots and lots of cheesecake
- And most importantly, immediate support when one of the group decides to go for broke and join the Peace Corps!
It’s never too early to think about the Third Goal. Check out Peace Corps Experience: Write & Publish Your Memoir. Oh! If you want a good laugh about what PC service was like in a Spanish-speaking country back in the 1970’s, read South of the Frontera: A Peace Corps Memoir.
