How many times have I said one of the best parts of this traveling is the people. Well last night was another one of those nights that just blew us away.
We had been at the local Elks to see if they had RV facilities (we just arrived here yesterday and aren't particularly thrilled with where we're at). We stayed there for an hour or so then headed home but I, once again, needed food (gee I wonder why I've put on so much weight!) So we stopped at TGI Friday ~ never one of Rick's favorite places but it was there and so were we. The place was empty .... only one other customer.
Of course, as usual, we got yapping with the bartender.
Casey (the cutie above) just celebrated her first wedding anniversary. Unfortunately her husband wasn't here in TN to celebrate with her - he is on his 8th deployment to Iraq. He celebrated by sending Casey 365 roses ~ can you imagine what 365 roses might look like!!! He will be home November 20 for a couple months - do you think they are counting the days!
Anyway, Rick and I were just so impressed with Casey. She is 25 has her master's degree in micro biology but decided after a year that she hated her chosen field (DNA research for prosecuting attorneys so she often had to testify in court). She is back to school studying for her doctorate in dermatology or acute care medicine. She does volunteer work for meals on wheels not to mention her job at Fridays. She had studied at UMass Medical Center in Worcester recently and saw a Red Sox game from the Green Monster seats (people would give their eye teeth for those seats)!! She was just a sweetheart, with so much energy, so much "on the ball" just a terrific kid and a pleasure to have met!
