Facebook has turned out to be quite an incredible resource for finding old friends from your past, and that's exactly what John and I did just recently with some pals from our Coco's days. As many of you know, I actually hired John as a server when I was in management with Coco's and our friendship blossomed over the years, and we started dating. During those days, we befriended some pretty wonderful people. Last weekend we met up with Norm Levee, Dawna & Bob Mencimer (and their daughter Jessica) in Old Sacramento for lunch. First of all, it's always wonderful to hear of other couples that have stayed together over the years, and so when we heard that Dawna and Bob were still together that was such a relief because we couldn't see either of them being with anyone else. As for Norm, he's always been the bachelor and so that wasn't quite a surprise to see him still single. It was great to see our friends, and we ended up chatting for over three hours, catching up on old times! Okay, maybe I did most of the talking, but still, it was awesome to see them. It's fun to bring up names from the past and to hear how everyone is doing nowadays. It's actually been 14 years since we'd been in touch and so we had a lot of catching up to do. On the other hand, it's hard to hear of the people whom we've lost over the years and those who aren't doing so well. Our love and best wishes go out to a fellow co-worker by the name of Heather who is unfortunately suffering some pretty serious health issues. Although I have my own problems to deal with, I would still never wish bad health on anyone else. Hang in there Heather, we're sending positive thoughts your way.
After John and I return from our two trips coming up, we plan to contact Dawna and Bob to get together again. Unfortunately, Norm now lives in Texas and so our visits will be seldom. However, he'll always be in our thoughts and prayers. We love them all dearly and it feels so nice to be reunited with some good friends.
Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
