Old Friends...

Old friends lighten up our lives, don't they? We just had dinner Saturday night with some friends that are our "oldest' friends, we don't say "old" too loud, we are all still young and so young at heart! These friends introduced Mike and I, as matter of fact, it was not our choice! Jane called me one Saturday years ago and said to me, "Nancy,  Don and I  "ARE" picking you up at 5:00 tomorrow, we are going to a pool party." Okay, I was ready the following day, you just don't say no to my sweetheart of a friend Jane! We arrive at the home of the hosts. We walk through their home and out back to there lovely back yard and by the pool was one man and that one man was grilling and was wearing a white button down startched shirt, blue jean cut offs and flip flops. Oh and I look around and the only ones I see at this party? Jane and Don, the hosts and me and the one at the BBQ grill! Oh yes, it's a set up for sure... Six people. 2 couples married and two single, go figure this one out!


Think the matchmaking worked, took quite a while, but we will be married this coming August 3, 2010 for 25 years, yes, our silver anniversary! We are blessed.


 By the way, I am working on a clearer picture, you know, the photograph is is almost 25 years old!                                                       
                                                                      


Horace, Kathy, Mike, Me, Jane, Don

  7. Hello to my newest follower and you're in my own backyard...almost. I was just in Austin yesterday as my son has returned to ACC after spring break. We home school so they are duel credit classes and we are working on driving school, but I don't mind because while he's in class I check out the thrift stores. WOO-HOO!
    What a sweet granddaughter and her fun party.
    Good friends, good old times!
    Tuesday Blessings ;-)
