Our home away from home (July 5th)

What a welcome – dinner and a homemade apple pie!  We are staying at good friends of ours – Carol and DannyCarol went to high school with me; she was in the same class as my older brother.  Danny is a retired diesel mechanic and jack-of-all-trades.  We are located in the small town of Bergen, New York.  Bruce grew up not far from here in the town of Byron.   We settled in getting hooked up with water and electric and leveling out the RV. 


On Sunday, we were invited to a graduation party for a good friends (Patti) daughter’s (Traci) son, Chad.  You can’t beat the food at these parties!  Deviled eggs, Tri-color vegetable pasta, potato salad, salt potatoes, Jell-O pretzel salad, BBQ, and of course a huge cake!  It was nice for me to finally put faces with all the names of Carol’s grandkids that I have heard about and see on Facebook, and it was really special to get to see Carol’s kids.  Our girls and their kids were the same age and whenever I used to get my hair cut, they would come all play together.  I saw Lory, Tina, Timmy and KellyMike was the only one missing.  We also saw Patti's son Eric, his wife Sheri and their kids who were up visiting from Florida as well as Patti's former husband and another former classmate, Ed, and his wife, Liz.  

It was mind-boggling to chat with folks we hadn't seen since 1983 or before!
