These women are not only former colleagues of mine, they are "The Girls of '45!"
I worked at Clifton for 20 years - and before that I was at Wildrose and was also a sub for 5 years.
I was delighted to work with so many lovely people - people who made my life richer and more enjoyable.
The worst part about retiring is not being able to hang out with the great people you have come to enjoy hanging out with!!
And now that we are hunkering down in stay at home mode, not seeing friends is even harder to bear sometimes. Usually the weeks go by and you see people or something is planned or you have a good reason to go visit. And what you miss is the human contact. You text and you Facetime and you Zoom and you send cards and notes and even briefly visit at 6 feet. But it's just not the same.
That's what I miss. Life goes on - we are going to make it - but it's kinda tough sometimes!
And I do need to get my photos organized better!
