Lifetime Lunch Ladies

Another fabulous day! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect to this time of year with clear blue skies, warm temps in the 30s and plenty of sunshine. A few weeks ago Linda sent out an email to several women she knows from the club to get us together for lunch. It was agreed that we would meet at the club at 9:00 and go over to Pizza Luce at 11:30 for lunch. I made it to the club around 9:45 but in plenty of time to get on a machine next to Linda and two of her pals Mary Kay and Jean. I drove to Pizza Luce shortly after 11:00 where I met up with Jane, Linda, Mary Kaye, Carol, and Joey. Oh what fun! We were there from 11:30 AM until 1:45 PM! The afternoon was just perfect with wonderful conversations and stories, really good food and lots of laughs. Carol confessed that she didn’t like Mike S one bit when she met him at the club three years ago and was glad when we broke up! Jane told me later that Carol had said to her even before meeting John that she had a good feeling about him despite the age difference; a concern of Jane’s initially. Thanks again Linda for organizing the meet up. After lunch I stopped by the office for about 30 minutes. I noticed a few of my colleagues were also in but I ducked into my office and closed the door to finish my work and because I didn’t want to distract others from their work on a Saturday. I went over to John’s to talk about hotels in New Zealand and make reservations. John and Mary kept busy packing up Mary’s things because tomorrow she flies back to school. John is flying to IL tomorrow to visit Gretchen at school and to catch up with her before our big trip later this week. We put together our itinerary earlier in the day and I spent the early part of the eevening researching and booking hotels. Mary returned home around 8:30 to have dessert with her dad after having dinner with her mom and to finish packing. Now I’m enjoying a quiet evening at home and waiting for my goodnight call from John☺
