Just got a visit from my old pioneer friend who I thought I was encouraging because she didn't have anyone to go on stupid calls with, I mean really stupid calls. This was what I said about her in the thread about Nursing Homes:
There's a nursing home in this area. Pioneers took turns assigning it to themselves. They actually conducted a "group study" in the front room. Only 1 - 3 ever attended. It was a joke to say the least. I used to go with one pioneer sister occasionally, she also had "return visits" there so sometimes we would kill time doing that.
This is off the point but the reason I went on these calls/studies with her was because no one else wanted to and she was discouraged for awhile. My PO elder husband suggested I reach out to her. So all this time I thought I was supporting her but I later figured out she thought she was encouraging me to get out in service more and pioneer...(remember the reach out effort for pioneers?). When I figured this out after leaving the whole fiasco I thought it was so funny.
SO this same pioneer sister just came to my door with another sister acting all excited to see me and tell me she wanted to give me my personal invitiaton. I declined and firmly said "that's okay I won't be going". She said "Oh well okay", probably too afraid to ask why. She tells me she misses me and introduces me to Brenda. I told my old friend she still looks beautiful and going on 27 (which is what I always told her). They excused themselves, we wished each other well and that was it.
Now back to cleaning out my side of the garage.
