Still love you, my best friend from childhood, and we reconnected after
years of not seeing each other because of the distance we lived apart!
I miss you So much and especially our talks about old times we shared.
I know you are in Heaven praising Jesus and visiting with your precious
"Little Bit" that you had to bury when he died. You loved that little doggie
with all your heart, and he sure loved you too. I'll see you again someday.

Last year, I bought tickets for Terri and I to go see REO SPEEDWAGON, the Rock Band. The Concert was at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, GA. We were
feeling a little nervous, because we thought we'd be the oldest two fans there!
When we arrived and found our Front Row seats, Center Stage, we looked around and realized we looked quite young compared to the people sitting behind us. There were people clearly in their seventies there, and some even looked older than that. Made us feel young again! We had a great time!

Playing on the playground at Treutlen County Primary School in First Grade.
Also, the time we got locked out of our cabin on the lake when we took a trip together two years ago. Terri had her phone in her pocket, thank goodness!
She called the local Sheriff's Department to come help us. We were very cold waiting on the back porch for them to come, and we were in our pajamas. The Deputy thought it was funny that we didn't think to call the Park Ranger to help us. But, we didn't know that number.
