Dinner With Kay

My best friend in 5th grade was Kay Fritz....and she has continued to be my best friend ever since. There have been times when we have gone for years without seeing each other or even speaking to each other. In fact, I lost track of her about eight years ago. Well, she found me on facebook last week! Would you believe she lives fairly close to us?! Sort of anyway. About a twenty minute drive. At least for the next two weeks when she'll be moving...it'll be a forty minute drive then!

We met up last night at Islands Burger for dinner. It was wonderful. It was like we'd never been apart. We just picked up where we left off. It was three hours of laughing, eating, talking, and just having a great time. It was so fun being with her again. We're both looking forward to spending more time together. We may even invite the husbands next time!

I'm so thankful for friends. Heavenly Father certainly knew what he was doing when he "invented" girlfriends! Where would we be without friends? I remember in grade school learning a song with the words, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold". How true. But, eventually, new friends become old friends and your life is surrounded with gold! Just a thought!

Family and friends. Life is good.

Catch Up

I can't believe it's been this long since my last post...actually I can. It seems I blog as well as I journal. Not my strong suit at all. But, and I know I've said this before, I'm going to try harder.

I really can't even catch you up on all that has happened because I don't remember! My memory is awful and I seems to have passed this fine quality on to Valerie! Sorry, Val.

So I'll just say that we went to Seattle in February to spent time with our three beautiful granddaughters. We had a wonderful time. They are growing so fast. I miss them and wish we could all live closer. Or one of us could win the lottery so we could afford to visit every week! My fantasy is to buy a house in Seattle so we could summer there and winter here in Arizona! I really don't think that's asking to much, do you?

We are now planning a trip to Vegas. We usually go in August and meet up with Barron's brother and sister. This year we have decided we need some alone time. So we're going in April while it's still cool. The problem in August is that it's just to dang hot and we don't get to walk around outside very much. We love doing that. Anyway, we're looking forward to some time alone. You know, alone........me, Barron, and a slot machine! KIDDING....sort of!

It'll be interesting to see how long I go before I blog again. At least I haven't gone a whole year! Later....love you all.
