Cheryl and I decided to run bus trips to Baltimore for the big bingo games. We did all the research but then had to get the word out to all the bingo people. So, during the very cold winter we would go to every bingo in the area and place our flyers on all the cars at all the bingos. We would be freezing and laughing and trying to hurry but we had fun as we usually did. One night when we were finished putting our flyers out we decided to go and get ice cream, it was freezing out! But we both wanted ice cream. I can remember us sitting in the car eating our ice cream with the heat blasting, laughing and trying to warm up.
Cheryl and I did so many things together. I have a lifetime of memories i can look back on and laugh and even cry. She was a true friend and she taught me so many things. She would go to bingo with me even though she didn't like it but because i did she went.
We were at bingo when i went into labor with my last child Erin, Cheryl wanted me to leave the bingo but i was not going anywhere till bingo was over. She was so nervous sitting with me until we left, we used to laugh over that memory all the time.
We used to go to AC on the weekends and cheryl loved the slots, i played roulette. I would sit and play the slots with her for 20 bucks but then go play roulette. One night we are playing the slots and she offers me a piece of green gum, it was something new and I took a piece and starting chewing. All of a sudden i told her i had to go to the ladies room and off i went. Well i was gone for quite some time so she came looking for me. I had just gotten a partial plate and i did not know that you can not chew gum, so i was in a stall trying to remove the gum from my teeth and i decided to use toilet paper to help. When Cheryl got there she knocked on the stall door and wanted to know what was wrong so I opened the door and there i was with green gum and toiltet paper sticking out of my mouth. She laughed so hard and decided to come into the stall with me to help. Well we both got in there and what a time we had getting that stuff out of my mouth. We were laughing so hard almost peeing ourselves and along comes her Mom. She hears the two of us laughing and carrying on so loud and she knocks on the door, well we could not get the door open and her mom was cracking up. She finally got us out of the stall but the three of us had a good laugh over my not knowing about gum and fake teeth.
There are so many other funny stories i could tell but i would be here a year trying to write them all down but they are with me and always will be. I was proud to call Cheryl my friend and always felt so lucky that i she was in my life. I will love you forever my special friend, till we meet again
