What Would We Do Without Our Friends????

I have been so blessed throughout my life having some very special friends. There are a few of us in the apartment complex here that live alone. We go out to eat together, visit each other, talk on the phone together, and go shopping together.

Just as an example....a little while ago I had gone out to run a coouple errands. When I pulled into my parking space, noticed the woman that lives across from me was walking to her car from my building. She had parked to remove packages from her car to take into her apartment. We talked for a few minutes....and I wanted to get in because the wind was quite chilly. We said we could talk on the phone. But before we parted she said I have something for you. Gave me a choice of 2 different muffins....I chose the banana nut. When I got to my door, she had hung 2 bananas on the doorknob. She does this every once in a while. I make enough of pasta, mashed taters, and other things sometimes, and give some to her and the other friend that is 88 that lives upstairs in the other building. We just do these kinds of things for each other.

It's not that we are friends for the food, but do have a lot of fun when we get together. I've heard that when there are 3, someone usually feels left out. Not with us though.
