What better way to spend a long weekend than with a bunch of great people? The photo above is of a long overdue gathering that took place a few years ago out at the lake. These guys, including my husband in the red shirt, are all Lamar County boys and all went to high school together graduating in the early 1970's. They had been inseparable up until several years before this photo was taken. During that time they had each thought about all the fun they had together countless times until the sisters of two of them found each other on Facebook and passed along contact information, prompting the phone call that brought the boys back together again. Oh Happy Day!!!
I adore my husband and that smile in the picture above is about the best and biggest I have ever seen and that was just the start. Once these guys got together, it was like they'd never been apart. Many more gatherings have taken place in the last several years and I have been very privileged to be a part of these reunions.
This weekend as many of us will be celebrating Memorial Day and a three-day weekend I look forward to yet another of these fabulous gatherings. There is nothing I can think of that I would rather do. Thank you to these wonderful folks who have accepted me as one of their own, thank you to my wonderful husband for introducing me to such a fine group, and last, but certainly not least, thank you to all the men and women, both past and present, who sacrificed and continue to sacrifice so much so that I can travel freely and enjoy a time such as this.
