the end of something good

The time arrived for the last gathering of our mentorship group called Merea.  It is hard to believe that two years could pass by so quickly.

For our final evening we had a meal together … heavy and not so heavy hors d'oeuvres that we older women had made. Delicious! And as always, we gave the younger women, or "girls" as we call them, copies of the recipes we used.

We also played a game where they had to guess which of us liked what thing, sort of a trivia game, or "how well do you know your mentors?" It ended up being a lot of fun mainly because we laughed so much. We mentors sang our old songs and the girls did a good job of guessing who had been to a Peter, Paul and Mary concert, etc.

We surely will miss our girls, but after a summer off, we begin another two years with a new group.
