As I dressed and walked into the kitchen I noticed that the other door from the kitchen led into a huge oblong room and a huge table..there sat men of all ages it looked like..and as I walked into the room..I noticed Sarah pouring coffee..and talking a mile a minute..and just laughing and have the best of time..everything got quiet..and then Sarah turned towards me.."Well gents I would like you all to meet my best friend Frances..she is from up North way..a long and hard drive..Jason and Richard are her boys here" pointing towards the boys..they were all standing now..saying "Howdy Mam".."Glad to make your acquaintance" I was a little flushed about all this attention..but did manage to get out "Thank you all..I am very glad to meet you gentleman"
"Come on Frances..we will eat in the kitchen..let all these guys eat here..they won't know how to act if there is a lady around..and you know how men can be..they sure don't want to have to try and remember all that etiquette they have hidden way back in their minds she said laughing.. The dishes were many and she and I did them talking of past events in our lives and the happy times we both had when we were younger..our high school years and our boyfriends..the little things that we both had forgotten throughout the years..this was good for both of us..and sitting down with a cup of warm ..we continued to talk and pour our hearts out to each other..
This was something we both needed and I never did realize the comfort and feeling Sarah felt for her surroundings..she was a happy women inward and out..and things were going her way in her eyes when they may not be all the time.
Sarah was never one to judge or give comments that would hurt..but she sure could make her point in a nice way and this seemed to work for the work hands as with anyone else..I wanted to help learn and do..I felt this could be my only repayment for her help and I knew in time that it would be a great for me as Sarah..how she did all I had no idea..but falling into bed at late hours and rising early she was always there with a happy smile and a good word to all..
