Yesterday, I met some great friends at Table 34 (Henderson on Warm Springs) for lunch. I have had these friends since 1983 since we worked at the Sands Hotel together and we still try and get together one to two times per year!
I worked as a Sales Manager and then Director of Sales at the Sands and the blonde with the short hair is Lori and she worked in Catering with Terri, the blonde with the longer hair. The gentleman (probably first time he has had ever heard that from us three broads) is Chris who was our Banquet Chef! The other lady is Marge, Lori's mom, and we are lucky to have her join us every time we get together for lunch!
Lori & her husband have invited an exchange student from Korea to live with them for this next school year and Lori hates Kimche - she has taken a couple of books out from the library to see what she can cook Korean style.
Terri has her own Meeting Planning Company and she is very successful! Terri and her husband just spent a month in Italy and Greece with their two children, Kyle (18) and Alex (11). Kyle is going into college in the fall (I was Kyle's first babysitter - OMG, I really am old)! Al is really a Princess and I keep telling Terri that she is going to be a pole dancer 'cause she loves to strut her stuff!!!
Chef Chris is now the Executive Chef at the Southpoint and he recently went to the Whitehouse for Feed the Kids (something like that) to cook for the children! He and many other Chefs from all over the US had an opportunity to see Michelle Obama's garden and she spoke to them for about 20 minutes. They did their cooking at different hotels in the DC area!
I am so lucky to have so many "Ole" friends from every place we have lived and each time I can be with them, brings back so many memories and we just pick up where we left off!
Looks like you have some "nice" friends, instead of US, Myler! I'm so happy for you, and I'll bet you are, too! :-) It's nice that you can still get together.
