Hiawassee Trip

I thought I would post this photo... When I lived in Ohio and the boys were ages 18 months to 5 years, I lived in a wonderful neighborhood. These ladies were my running buddies... :) Running to preschool, playing at the park. And their kids were my boys' friends. Back then our kids were in preschool and kindergarten.. now they are in high school and college!

One dear friend Mary Rose,(second from the right) contracted breast cancer and we did what we could to help her family. We didn't do a lot- but were just there for her as much as we could be. She was cancer free for years until now, as it is back and they are not very hopeful at this point.

Well, we all got together at one friend's lakehouse north of Atlanta. Here we are.

And Stephen photoshopped us all together... we had to take turns taking pictures of all of us, so he took two photos and got us all in together.

Here we all are-- after not having seen each other in some cases for over 8 years!
Please pray for Mary Rose and her family. Thank you-

Stephen did an awesome job with the photo - he's going to have to give me a lesson!

Your friend is in my prayers. It's great that you got to get together!

About Us

My photo
Texas, United States
We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!
"True happiness lies in giving ourselves in love to our brothers and sisters. "

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
