A Double Vision...Surprise!!!
I was volunteering at the hospital doing my usual routine. I welcome people to the 'one day surgery' unit and let the staff know when patients arrive for their procedure. They approach a sign-in area that is about four feet high and I am seated at a desk facing them. Can you imagine how unique it was...to look up and see a pair of not quite five feet tall...81 year old women... identical twins' heads smiling back at me!!! I was alm
ost speechless, and yet it was so great to see them. And chat with them. 81 year old twins!!You just never know what life will present to you on any given day. Aint it grand???
As Mom would have said it, "Two old birds...out and about!"

Isn't volunteer work an adventure? I've been involved with it most of my life and it's really enriched my life. You meet the most interesting people! I bet the twins were darling!

You are just the most amazing person to volunteer your time that way. Good for you, Mare! What a wonderful double surprise! I wish I could have seen them. I wonder if they dressed alike.
