Small World

Annemarie, Peggy, and Me :-))))


Who would have thunk? I started this blog 18 months ago, at the urging of Stephanie, my precious niece. I've made many 'cyber' friends because of my blog and I love you all dearly. I think about each of you often and wonder what you are doing when your blogs are absent.

However, I digress, I do that, have you noticed? Anyway, through this miracle of cyber space blogging and facebook, 2 fellow bloggers and myself actually got to meet in real life!!! I was so excited. Especially since, Peggy lives in Australia. What are the chances of me getting to meet a sweet lovely lady that I have grown fond of and developed a friendship with over the internet when she lives on the other side of the world? I mean, really! My fun little airplane isn't going to cross that MUCH water!

Annemarie lives across the great state of Texas. Getting across the state to see college friends is a miracle, so being able to meet these 2 women was such a blessing.

We set up a meeting place, Abilene, TX. About equi-distant for both of us Texans as possible. Amelia, AJ, Ashley (neighbor ~ adopted daughter :-) ), and myself take off and 9:30 and drive to Abilene. Kev got called into work, imagine that! Thank heavens for GPS on the phones, I would have been so lost.

We had a great lunch at Abuelo's and a better time visiting and getting to know each other for 'real'!

Thanks Annemarie for driving to Abilene, and thanks Peggy for taking time out of your holiday to meet little old me! Love ya both bunches. Hugs, xxx

Lunch Bunch!

This has been a really rough school year. I don't think I would have made it without the support of 1. my husband and 2. my girl friends!! We started going to lunch on Thursday's back in September and somehow have managed to continue it most of the school year. Not everyone makes every week, but when we have all of us we have a rockin good time!!!

It is amazing how much a bunch of ladies can get done, planned out, and organized when sitting around a lunch table talking for a couple of hours. Gosh, we could almost solve the world's problems, given a chance!!!!

So, here are a few pictures of the lunch bunch!


Lisa, Donna, son Tyler, Kathy, Connie, Me, Kim


Starting with me in pink and my back! Kim, Lisa, Donna, Tyler, Kathy, Connie!!



This was the 1st time Tyler was able to join us and only the 2nd time Kevin was able to! He was sweet and took the pictures!! Of course this time we were eating at my favorite place, On the Border!!!! However, we had to eat inside, and not on the patio, shucks!

Thanks to these awesome ladies, I have survived a very stressful school year, Kevin's heart attack, and now Mom's broken hip. These gals brought food to the house, bring my kids home me, and do other great things for a friend in need. They also came to the Halloween party with 40 4th and 5th grade kids running around and helped keep the chaos organized!!!

Here's a toast to the lunch bunch, my best friends!!!
