Today is a much better day for us. We still have a job, things will change but we can handle that. My husband told our boss that we would take a pay cut to help the company out. They were shocked because (we found out) that our rates are lower then any of the other engineers and none of them offered to do that. Go figure.
We received our yearly Christmas card from my oldest friend. She has retired from her teaching job at a deaf and blind school in California. Her days are spent taking care of her grandchild for 3 days a week.
So, my mind went down memory lane, she was 1 and I was 3 when we met. We grew up together, she taught me how to swim, I introduced her to her husband. We were at each other's weddings. I was there when she gave birth to her first child. Her children, I adored and spoiled with a passion and watched them grow into handsome young men and marry. Now they are having children of their own.
I can look back and say we had very good times and our lives are better for it.

Whew!!!!! I'm glad things are okay. And what a lovely memory.
I think you just cemented a long and good relationship with that company. They know you are honest and trustworthy and loyal!
How lovely to have a friend in your lives for so long!
Isn't it wonderful being in touch with old friends? Only recently my very oldest friend found me via Facebook. We've been emailing and it amazes me the sense of understanding and trust that exists, as if the years never happened....
I was trying to comment on your previous post but my computer just hummed and "hour-glassed" for so long that I had to give up and read this post. (I think I'd better do a backup of this computer, as it sounds like it's going to blow up!) So glad that things have worked out this way.
All good to you because you are all good!
Have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Lois.
Old friends are the best, aren't they? It's nice that you keep in touch. I have several that help me travel down memory lane.
Good friends are such precious gifts--worthy of cultivation. Good friends are like rare jewels, treasures which shine and enrich our lives.
