Our trip took us on to the beautiful home of my lifetime friend, Millie Jones Pincus, in Lawrenceville, where we have our own floor in her great house. My other "best friend" since third grade of school, Ginger Bragg Doster, came over and joined us at Millie's where we had fun and enjoyed being together again after all these years. We always have so much to remember and talk about and it takes a while to get caught up on all current events in our lives. The weekend flew by way too fast to suit any of us.
We three also spent time on planning the 50th Class Reunion for the Clarkston High School Class of 1960. Where has this time gone? We were able to make contact with more than a baker's dozen of our classmates to get the big ball rolling. My, how we miss our old friend, John (Tommy) Barnes when we start on a new gathering.
We are meeting on October 1, 2, and 3 of 2010 in the Atlanta area and are excited about seeing all of our old friends. Please help us get this word out to our friends and classmates.
The reason for our trip to Atlanta was to share in the wonderful surprise celebration of my precious Aunt Anna Lee's 90th birthday. She was overwhelmed with hundreds of dear friends and family members who came by to say Happy Birthday to her and to share in her wonderfully kind life. Aunt Anna's daughter, Ann Lee, had done a great job of inviting and planning the event. Aunt Anna will never forget it and neither will we!
Aunt Anna still lived at home at my Mama Cole's house when I was born and she has also been "my other mother." Ann, my cousin, has never been able to figure out why I was able to be in her mom and dad's wedding pictures when she wasn't. Not sure that she has ever forgiven me for that...
We thank the Lord for traveling mercy and for seeing that we arrived back home in Texas safely. So good to share time with old friends and family.
Until the next page turns,
