JuJu and Joanna...The Seniors' Journey

Being 65 and 66 and also being friends for over 15 years, JuJu and Joanna had shared the "beginnings" of senior life when they first met.  Of course, when they first met, even then in their fifties, thinking "senior" had not entered their minds.

Joanna was introduced to JuJu as a friend of Tam's.  The three of them were out for the night!  Yay!  Going out for a drink at a restaurant.  But, these three were going directly to the bar.  They all had a seat and ordered a drink and the evening began.  Joanna and JuJu were sitting beside each other and Tam was across from them.  Tam was younger and she never let them forget it too.  Tam always attracting the men...all men, all ages...Tam was funny, had a great smile and of course, was 13 years younger.

The evening ended somewhat early with JuJu and Joanna getting more acquainted and Tam wanting more fun.  Never knew what 13 years difference in age could do.  JuJu and Joanna were content to call it an evening and they did.  As I can remember, they exchanged phone numbers, not knowing if one would call the other.  But something sparked between the two ladies.  Kinda like a friendship in the making.

JuJu and Joanna were still working at this stage in their life.  Both of them were recently separated and each of them had adult children.  In the case of JuJu, she had only the one child, a son.  Joanna had three children, two boys and a girl.  With much in common, the beginnings of this friendship was going to be good.  Just a good feeling about it.
