January Visits from friends that are distant relatives...

 

There us nothing like meeting up with old friends or family that you have not visited with in a while, this is exactly that Merry and I did Monday night. my second cousin (or as my brother would say, first cousin once removed), Kathy came to our house about 4:00, after work and stayed until 10:30. We talked reminised and remembered times gone by. Was a lovely visit and we plan to have lots of those in the future.

  After church Sunday at Chophouse we ran into old friend, who also had Patton blood runing through her vains, and she suggested lunch together while Merry was here. Today she picked us up and picked another friend, and we enjoyed a breakfast at Mimi's. It is so much fun to renew friendship with those you chatted
over the backyard fence with, or over coffee, one who runs an errand or watches the kids for just a moment,
or provides a cup of sugar or a stick of butter when needed. Today Pat and Merry, of course remembered those summer days, twice a week at Center Hill water sking back in the 50's. In the 50's we were neighbors across the street. We still have the warm feeling of neighbors that we experienced back then. A twist in the long relationship is Pat's father and Leonard shared the same great, great grandfather.

I am the little one!
