I had a long day yesterday and only had a short time on my computer after work. Hence the very short blog post. Work went very well yesterday. We got an early start because we had to quit a little early for the day. Jeff and I ended up doing all three houses scheduled for the day. I had a dinner “date” with an old friend of mine scheduled for 6pm so we quit working at 3pm so I would have time to got home, get cleaned up, and then drive the 55 miles to her house. I had a huge crush on her growing up. We ended up going in different directions after high school. She moved away. I went to college. She got married. I got married. We talked now and then the first few years when I would go and visit my Grandma or Uncle up north. We both divorced and remarried at different times. When I got there, we sat and talked for a half hour or so and then decided to go get something to eat. We decided to walk up town to the diner and get some burgers. It was still nice outside and was a nice walk. After dinner, we walked back to her house. We decided to listen to music and play dominoes. We got to talking about high school and pulled out the yearbooks. We compared notes on what each other knew about people from school. Before we knew it, the time had long passed midnight. She had to get up for work at 5am, so at 2am, I walked out the door. I felt bad for keeping her up so late, but she said it was okay. We were on the phone late the night before too. I got home around 3am and spent the next 3 hours writing my catch up letters.
The last week sure has been a trip down memory lane for me. I am starting to remember so much. Details are coming back to me. I don’t know how good this is for me. I think it is helping me discover who I am and who I want to be. My likes and dislikes are becoming clearer. I am running out of time now as I have a doctor’s appointment, but will write more later. I hope everyone has a great day!
Wahoo! Congradulations dad. She’s the perfect one for you, and I hope it works out. (I don’t say that about everyone, so it tells you that I’ve accepted her. Not that it even matters.)

I think you are discovering that it is YOUR life and you own it. You have so much to be proud of because you are learning, growing, evolving, reaching out. We all have “stuff”, but those who can’t revisit and reexamine and take responsibility and take credit, never become whom they were destined to be. You are doing so great. Keep forging ahead and be greater
BEST,
Shu

Easy Kev! We are just friends so don’t get all excited. We’ve been friends for over 30 years.
