A local friend is moving away to Florida so some neighbors hosted a going-away party. They did a bunch of pulled pork, I brought some BBQ sauces and coleslaw.
I knew that Barb had lived in Florida previously but I did not know the entire story. Barb lost her husband in a motorcycle accident four years ago and she has been really depressed. Frank was a close friend and an awesome man. It turns out that Barb recently connected with a guy (Bob) on Facebook - someone she used to live with 30 years ago. Bob came out for a visit, Barb visited him in Florida and now, he is coming back out and they are going to drive back to Florida and live together. I have not seen Barb this happy in the last couple of years.
About 30 neighbors came to wish her well.
And now I have a friend in Florida with a four bedroom house on the Gulf Coast!
