Now that I have retired from writing the society column for The Saratogian for the past 25 years, I decided I couldn't just sit around the house - although I do at times. Anyone 79 needs to rest once in awhile.
I like my house clean, but that gets boring, too. So I decided to go back to volunteering at the Saratoga Hospital Volunteer Guild. Before I had some health issues and got so busy writing I volunteered in Same Day Surgery at the hospital for nearly six years.
But when the head of the volunteering staff asked me if I would like to be a greeter at Treasures I immediately said "Yes." It was right up my alley. I like people and being a greeter was something I was sure I could do.
So every Tuesday from now on, I will be seated by the front door and will say : "Hi, welcome to Treasures." My first Tuesday was last week. I was there from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. and I loved every minute. It's no wonder because lots of shoppers stopped by for the great bargains and tremendous buys available.
Treasures is located on West Avenue right next to the Wolberg lighting store.
Please stop any time, but I'll be there on Tuesdays to say hi when you walk in the door. Can't wait to see you all.
