Old Friends find each other.

I was in McDonald's eating lunch one day early this week when someone tapped my shoulder and ask if I was Hazel and I said yes. She told me she used to work with me on night shift at Dura. I looked at her and couldn't believe the events that followed. I saw her face and immediately recognized her. I said her name and she said yes. So I left my group of senior ladies and sat with her for a while. She was with her Aunt and a cousin, both of whom were very friendly. The whole point is I could remember her face and her name after about Thirteen years. That for me is astonishing, and amazing. I usually can recognize faces, but have trouble pulling up a name from that long ago. I am still amazed with the fact that I could remember her name after all those years and after all the traveling I have done since. Could it really be true? You know, what they say about eating blueberries. It is supposed to help one's memory. I don't know what else to attribute it to. LOL. Maybe my brain is working better now for some reason so we will say it is the blueberries for now.
