Good for them! I’m glad they found there way here, and I hope they are enjoying The Villages. I’d be happy to have them as friends.
I have an equestrian friend who keeps her horses at a training stable in New Jersey. Nearly all the horses are owned by women, and all of those women spend a lot of time talking with each other. One night she called me all worked up because there was a new woman at the stable who was a stripper. No one wanted anything to do with her. It was unacceptable. I encouraged her to withhold judgment until she’d gotten to know this stripper. Turned out that the woman was in her mid-40s and was proud of being a stripper, though she had given it up a year earlier. She wasn’t a great rider, but she had a pretty good horse and competed. She was now working as co-owner of a truck-dispatching company, with her dad. Within a couple months, she made friends with everyone. No one forgot she had been a stripper, but they no longer cared. The next year she got married to a guy who didn’t care that she had been a stripper. Now, five or six years later, she is very much integrated into the barn society.
