There are always dogs.

     I read a blog recently by someone who's grandmother had just moved into a retirement complex.  Her grandmother encountered "mean girls" who wouldn't let her sit at their table at meals....(that seat is saved), and wouldn't let her join in their bridge games (we don't have any openings.)  Some people just never outgrow junior high school, and not in a good way.
     But there are always dogs.
     It is so important to find your tribe....whether it is a group of friends or a virtual group of like minded people.  Social media is wonderful in this regard and gives so much support.
