Look Who I Found!

Actually, I found her last month but it's not really a reunion story without a photo, so when we met for coffee this morning, I made sure to snap one! If you don't know who I am sitting at Starbucks with, meet Sherri, my friend from all the way back to 6th grade. Through the wonder of Facebook, I found her once more. And lucky for me, pretty close by, definitely close enough for regular meetings at Starbucks!

She was the one that my parents always approved of, esteemed, and always asked if I had heard from. Remember asking your Mother, "can I go out and play?" When I asked my Mother that question back in the day, I was probably headed to her house. We were best buddies in junior high and beyond. I moved away in 11th grade and we lost touch for a very long time. So many great memories with that girl! Love you Sherri!

I was impressed with the sleeve they used on my cup today, such patriotic inaugural flare. It's a Ronald Reagan quote from his inauguration.

Did you know when my 7 year old Sarah was but 2 years and four months, she could recognize and name every U.S. president from Washington to Bush by looking at their pictures? I even made these special cards and laminated them just so we could show off this talent of hers. It lasted a couple of months and then she lost interest and wouldn't do it anymore. She has not repeated that feat to this day. I think my Mom has a video of her rattling off presidential names. We thought it was very cool.

What a great day, met a dear friend and had Starbucks. Oh, did I tell you I found my wallet?
