Remember the couple who requested to stay overnight on sleeping bags? They arrived 2 hours late after some driving/gas station/hotel snafus, but we sure enjoyed seeing them. Haven't seen the guy since I was carrying our DS in 1962 - DH was in his wedding party. We did keep contact over the years, only lost touch when he went thru a bad patch after his first 2 wives died. The new wife is such a dear person, and we have a lot in the common. Much reminiscing and looking at HS yearbook (the 3 of us were in same class). They came back for breakfast the next day so we could do more catching up. Dang, I sure wish they lived nearby, not on a mountain in GA. I imagine we'll never see them again, as DH is not into traveling, but who knows. It's a 10 hour drive and maybe he'll give in some day. The guy is a licensed pilot and took his bride on a flight around the islands when they honeymooned in Hawaii. Imagine that.

Your old friends....It can be so great to share as you have just done. I hope you do get to come to GA and see them someday, for the north GA mountains aren't that far from Lottie and me. Maybe we could have you come down to our homes.

Hum, yup remember that post. So very happy that it turned into such a great get-to-gether. I'm sure it was a much better visit than if they had stayed with you. Hey-- maybe he'll fly down and pick the two of you up-- wouldn't that be fun. martha
