Hello as some know or may not know the person behind the many years of this FB page is making her last post!
Dont want to make it to long as I do like to ramble (so I have been told).
Not really sure where to begin. The beginning was so long ago a Wednesday night waitressing tacos were 3 for $5.00, orders taken by hand, on duplicate note pads and delivered to the kitchen! We sure have come along way in that regard. First shift bartending was a party in the back hall, no better way then to just do it....according to Amanda R.
It is emotional thinking about all of the members who have passed in all those years 🇺🇸, another emotion is all the people i have met some are like where do I know you from.....oh the Legion; to people who started out as friends and are now family who are stuck with me...sorry and you know who you are!
How do you sum up 17 years? Who do you thank and how do you thank them?
You dont want to forget anyone so it for the best to not mention anyone, but that is hard for me because as there are so many there are actually only a few that have helped me become who I am.
Some memories that stand out are Proms, Going FB live, Picnics, Christmas/Halloween parties, karaoke, fish frys, calls at 3 am cause alarm is going off only to realize it was Christmas lights in front of motion detector going off, decorating for events, planning events, Heritage Days and doing egg/balloon toss with Keith, the stupid laughs about usually stupid stuff but we thought it was funny, you hear a song and it takes you to a certain time and place, we cant forget (even though we would love to) COVID still sucks, football games singing or trying to sing the SKOL song (what does SKOL really mean 🤔) .
The things I gave up, the family events, the vacations, days off....but i would do it again (maybe not as much) but i would because of ALL OF YOU!
I have written this many times over and over in my head, but it doesnt actually quite seem real that I am done, writing does make it more surreal but yikes.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for everything for making a girl feel loved, for letting me hopefully make a difference to you, for hopefully bringing some joy and laughter into your life! For helping me be the person I am today.
This is not goodbye.....well sort of really is....I was hoping for until I see you again, but that sounds not truly realistic.
Thank you for the memories!
Please remember in a world where you can be anything ALWAYS BE KIND!
Have a SKOLTASTIC day!
With love, respect, gratitude, tears, regrets and amazing memories..... always Colleen
Baroooooooo
