Honestly I have NEVER had a bad anything there..so if ya wanna have some fun..give me a call, I'll go again! Anytime :)
A good way to round out the Christmas holiday weekend.


In another note, finally deciding to actually post this.
Do you ever think about someone, then, out of the
blue ,after not seeing or taking to them
for years on end.. WHAM,there they are?

I bumped into an old work /friend
in the mall the other day while shopping. Someone I hadn't seen in a long ,long time.
It's not that we ever really hung out or anything when I did see her, but she is one of those people you don't easily forget. Delicate gentle ,kind, positive, loving and stunningly beautiful.The kind of woman that men flock to and girls get girl crushes on. Beyond sweet.
I hired her near the end of my tenure at a store I was managing, and at the time I secretly knew I was leaving soon, and regretting that I would have to abandon her and the other employees to the unknown.
But, I did, and over time lost track of her. I knew where she worked next ,but never seemed to cross paths with her.Until now.It was quite touching and exciting to see her again, In a way I was so proud of her. But what got me was when after hugging and catching up on things, she told me that..she was happy that I hired her and that I gave her a chance. I was floored when she said, I opened doors for her and how grateful She was to me for that...ME? I impacted someone somehow? I had no clue.
Both our eyes welled up and I felt a wave of emotion come over me.. She has put up with such adversity in her life, I had no thought that I ever did anything for her.
We both were going through some rough patches when I hired her, me a nasty breakup with someone I was SO head over heels about, her ,personal things I won't say.
But A rough time indeed. I think we came,and are, coming through some things again.
But she was positive and excited, and I was happy to see her again and possibly reconnect.
Then she said ,she was moving in 2 weeks to California. I pretty much know we may never see each other again. It was bittersweet, but I can say how happy I was to see her, see she was doing well and surviving. What we all do. I am honored I got a chance to know her.
And I wanted to thank her for making me feel like I accomplished something with someone. No matter how small it may seem to others. It is HUGE for us.
I will always have your back girl, you deserve the ultimate BEST in this world, you EARNED it fully. Safe journey and happy life.
Hugs.
