New Year 2015


I was unable to determine what became of my Mother's childhood "long walk" friend posted previously. However, she mentioned another childhood friend that was last seen at her wedding 57 years ago. After a couple hours of "pigheaded" sessions with Google, I found the woman's daughter-in-law and an email address! My mom spoke to the daughter-in-law and will talk to her friend soon. I guess batting 50-50 isn't too bad.

The year 2015 will include some big changes for me. The office was put up for sale and the first two months of 2015 will be busy with sorting through years of stuff and moving.


No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't afford to keep the building.

What fun for your mom to connect with an old friend like that! 50-50 is good, actually. :)

Sorry to hear you have to move the office. Such a pretty building. Where will you guys be working from after you move out? Lots of change in 2015! :)

Sorry about the office not working out, but who knows what could happen next, could be a good thing. So glad you were able to find at least one of your mom's older friends. Happy new year.

I'm glad you found one of your mother's friends. I bet she is, too.

Sorry to hear the office building was put up for sale. Good luck with what's to come in 2015, and good luck with the move.

Happy New Year! *hugs*

I'm glad you found one of your Mom's friends, but sorry about the office building having to be sold.

Oh, wow, Iggy...so much to be happy about, so much to be sad about...sounds like 2015 is going to be a year with a little of everything...

So glad to hear you found a way to connect with one of your mom's friends. I keep thinking her "long walk" buddy could be found somehow, but if anyone could have found her, it would be you, so maybe not :(

Best wishes with the process of the sale and moving. Sometimes, it's so much more rewarding to focus on the specialty you are equipped to do so well...having to tangle with the overhead of business only takes you away from what you are built to do best...but still, it's hard. Here's hoping you find a buyer willing to pay a good price, in just the right time frame for your business' needs!

Happy New Year to you, Iggy! May it bring you much that is bright and rewarding!

Isn't the internet grand? Sometimes. I recently located a friend I haven't seen in close to 25 years. Of course, she doesn't know I've found her, but I'm going to send her some photos of her folks I found in an old box. Her folks are both gone, so hopefully getting actual mail in the mailbox with these old images will make her day.

Good luck with your move. I feel your pain. Ever tried to pack 50 years of National Geographics? I'm seriously demented.

Sorry about the office. I really hope things work out and all is well. Saying a little prayer.

Great that you were able to help your mom make some connections!
