My High School Chums


Well, "Sleeping Beauty" is still sound asleep. 
 
Last evening, I had my first outing.  My high school chums, Nila Means May and Sherry Slaughter and I went to dinner at the FOP.  She comes from her home base in 
Fresno,CA to this area once a year and we always get together for dinner and it is amazing. For those of you that don't know, Sherry has been with Campus Crusade for Christ since graduating from Marshall University (we will forgive her the Marshall part of her life, not everyone can be a WVU girl, lol).  Nila is to humble to admit it but she runs the engineering office, the guys just think they do.
Amazing to see how the Lord has worked in these wonderful ladies lives.  It is so nice to see how over the years our lives have taken different twists and turns but when we return for that one night dinner together each year, we are still those three high school girls that the Lord has blessed so much.  I have learned so much from these two ladies.
 
Jack and Wilma stayed with Mom so that I could go to dinner and I can't thank them enough.  Wilma got Mom to eat more than she has eaten in a while and of course Mom loves her "golden boy"(Jack) and his presence always brings a smile to her face.  Gave mom her pills when I came home and she went to sleep within an hour and is still sleeping.  Jack said she never did nap while they were here.  I guess she was afraid she might miss something.  She watched the Preakness as she still loves horses.  Hey, the little jockey in lilac won the race again.  Something about that color purple/lilac is a winner.  See, if I were a betting person, I could be rich today!
 
My nephew Tommy took over my computer (from his home in Akron, OH) and did some updates on it.  It amazes me how he can do that.  He is one terrific young man with a wealth of knowledge and tries to keep his old aunt updated on the "techie stuff".  Christie, Tommy's Mom is under the weather this weekend and we hope she is feeling better this morning. 
 
Everyone have a blessed day and get out there and enjoy the sunshine with your families.  vada
