My Aunt called this morning saying she was going to the store and would pick me up. That was good because I was running low on a few things. Once at the store the first person I saw was my high school music teacher. Aside from school we worked together a few times at weddings as she played the piano and I sang so we were kind of "close". Today was a wobbly day and she looked at my cane and limp and asked what had I done to myself this time. I had a habit of being a bit accident prone and she looked surprised but commented "but you've still got that big smile--but that's how you always were!"

A couple isles over a ran into (almost literally) a lady I worked with when I was in my 20's. She was a really nice lady but looked mean so people shied away from her but that was when I was more confident and didn't shy away from nothing! We became "work buddies". She noticed something wasn't right but she didn't ask and I didn't tell. Instead we talked about our grand children, her husband (who was our supervisor) who had passed and giggled about a few stories from way back.

All in all there were about 5 people in the store I hadn't seen in nearly 30 yrs. Who knew Food Lion was having a class reunion in Isle 3!? It was nice seeing them again.
