simple gifts............

ok, so my friend joe davis has sent small gifts inside each of his fruit/vegetable deliveries, over the past 4 days..............they come labeled.......we are to day 4.........leavin'for shor......ha!...........i will really miss him, as i have talked to him on the phone daily for the past 4 years.............he left a high pressure job to take on a produce business............so he and i have lots in common.............i am bailing out before he.......and i really hope he hangs in there................i went around at lunch and took pictures of favorite customers ..........the judges (who are not all judges.......the true judge went to law school with sandra day o'conner, and he was instrumental in getting her to danville for centre's graduation this year....)...the professors (yes, they are both real professors....who read this blog, by the way)...............as well as my mom who came by to have a late lunch with me................in some regards it is like being at your own funeral, with people telling me how glad they are that we took the big risk 4 years ago to open up the place.............and to talk about how they will miss me.........though i am only going a few miles down the road..............i will surely not be a lady who lunches in my new career...........i can actually become a lady who exercises over lunch.....as the health department is just minutes away from the anderson-dean park, with it's lovely 2 mile walking path.................a sandwich on the way over, a book on tape....and i could start training for my alps hike on day 1....................i did take a photo of gail with my mom................my mom really likes gail, though she seems to have no idea that gail and my brother could one day become a couple.....if he would ever decide to settle down again...............hope springs eternal........yes, hope is a simple gift..................
