Old friends

I ran into an old friend named Rebecca last night at the grocery store.  We used to be in the same bowling league years ago and I haven’t seen her since. Turns out she lives right around the corner from us now.  I’m surprised we didn’t cross paths sooner as she has been living there for almost a year now. It was nice seeing her but it wasn’t nice hearing about what happened to her last month. Her place got robbed while she was at work and they cleaned her out. I couldn’t believe something like that could happen so close much less not hear about it. I guess my roommate and I do live in a bit of a cocoon as we are so busy with our careers but still. That really disturbed me to the point where I told my husband to look into home security systems. I would sleep a lot better at night and feel better while at work knowing we had one.
