The Lunch Bunch.....

"No Talking --- stay in line --- Sh-h-h ---???, Is that you talking? ---(OK, we're here. Oh gosh, only 15 more minutes of lunchtime. Where does the time go? We've been in line for 2-3 minute now? Why is she late?) ---Whew! the kids are seated and now I have 10 minutes to eat my lunch."

"Hi everyone! Who watched....................? Dancing with the Stars, Amazing Race, Surviver (especially when Bobby John was on-twice), John and Kate Plus Eight AND let me tell you about our trip to the pumpkin patch, the Peanut Festival, grandma's house, our doctor visit...the list could go on and on! These are some of our topics of discussion at the "Lunch Bunch" round table." Working in a school environment can be a pretty hectic, consistent day but come lunchtime we "got our groove on" for LUNCH BUNCH time.

Oh, we do occasionally talk about our class, lessons, etc. but most of the time we just like to share a little of "ourselves" with each other. There are 6 ladies and 2 men who usually sit at our table (surrounded by our kids). One of the men is our principal so I know we sometimes void out our words before they even leave our mouths BUT sometimes the words come before we realize we've spoken them. Oh well!

This bond we share as ladies has become an unusual friendship rope that leaves each of us knowing that we can depend on each other. We've laughed together, cried together, vented together...and we're still together. We are "The Lunch Bunch".

I have learned that to have a good friend

is the purest of all God's gifts,

for it is a love that has no exchange of payment.
