FAREWELL PARTY

Last night I had a farewell party for my neighbor, Brenda, who sold her home and will move out in another week. We live in a small condominium – a single building that consists of four two-story townhouses, and I invited the other two owners, Laurie and Heidi, as well. My three neighbors all work and so the conversation centered around their co-workers, managers, and office gossip. Since, I am retired, I added little to the conversation.

Meantime, the party reminded me of a similar event about 25 years ago. A different owner had sold her condo and the four of us original purchasers had gathered to say good-bye. Coincidentally the 4 owners at that time were again all women and three of us worked whereas the fourth was retired. And I remember vividly that because I was in my 30’s at the time, the 60+ year’s woman seemed soooo old to me. Now it is I who is 25 years older than the others and no doubt in their eyes I am the old one. As they say, “What goes around, comes around.”
