Today was the first day to start selling raffle tickets for the basket my Mother-n-law and I put together. I must say it was a good first day. I was very pleased at how many tickets were sold and I still have until March 17th to sell them! Dustin was down visiting and he went with me to the Senior Center this a.m. After lunch I went around different rooms to sell tickets and one of the rooms was setting up to play Bunco! They asked if I wanted to play and I said sure! I told Dustin to pick me up later so he didn't have to wait around. It was fun to play with all the people. They said the turn out was big this time, more people than usual. The best part was when a lady came up to me and said she had recognized me from somewhere but could not quite place where it was. I immediately recognized her too but wasn't sure where. So, we racked our brains and went over where she had worked and where I worked and the Church we go to but still nothing. Then all of the sudden it dawned on me where it was. The CROSSING GUARD!!! She was the lady that crossed the kids at my oldest daughters elementary school! We both said the school name at the same time and then screamed with joy. The room stopped and was quiet! Jefferson we said! Sure enough it was when my oldest was in kindergarten and she remembered me pregnant with the twins! Ain't that a hoot! This was in Riverside in the late 1980's. Clara is 90 years old now and she remembered me!!! Made my year. I can't tell you in words what that moment means to me. Priceless!!! After bunco I went to buy more prizes with the raffle money and bought some really great things. Peace out, Tina
