One of the things I love about the kid's school is that when it got built this year they went to schools in the state that were closing and cleaned about supplies that they needed... desks, lockers, white boards, pretty much anything that a school would have or need that was still in good shape.
That way they could use their money on teaching or learning tools... things that really mattered instead of a brand new desk or table.
We were at the kid's school one day helping to clean up after a concert and Marty and I found some special memorabilia on the chairs that we had sat on.
Chairs from our Alma mater
William Penn Elementary in Salt Lake City.
I went there for Kindergarten and First Grade.
Apparently the school was so old that it closed down last year.
Now my children are sitting their behinds on chairs from my old school.
How special is that?
On Thanksgiving Eve I got together with one of my most special friends from our California days long ago, Christy Smith. We had it all planned to grow up to the be the most well-rounded, domestic diva's that ever walked the planet. We had sleep overs all the time planning our life. A good time to us was copying down our favorite recipes and organizing them in our recipe box. We made surprise meals for our families to try our recipes out on. We did gymnastics and softball and sewing lessons together. We learned about combing our hair 100 times for healthy locks and we wore our first pair of panty hose together. We were also known for giggling a lot and for being a bit clumsy cause we giggled so much. Our families have kept in touch over the years but Christy and I haven't done such a good job...
we just KNOW that we're special friends even though we don't talk.
So, it was great to see her and her 4 cute kids and husband.
We haven't changed a bit.
Check us out on our awesome softball team, the Stingers.
I believe we got 2nd place in the city league.
We are 2nd and 3rd from the right... the cute ones.
(our first team we played on, the Munchkins, didn't do so well.
I don't think they could name a team that these days.)
When we were 14 or 15 our families took a week long trip to Fish Lake. We had some good laughs looking at these pictures together because we remembered how cute we thought we were. As campers we fixed our hair every day. We had awesome braces. And we listed to Duran Duran. What is cooler than that?
Forget about the scenery in the background. Just look at those two cute girls. They spent a lot of time getting ready for the day.
Good times Christy!
See you in another 15 years.
