MEMORY LANE



29-30MAY08. THURSDAY-FRIDAY. Called my lovely wife to get an update on the pre-festivities associated with Kristen’s Graduation. My Sister Sharon made a surprise visit to attend Kristen’s Graduation and show off her new baby Kendal. For those who don’t know, my sister and I spent the majority of our Middle/High School years (ie., grew-up) in Cantonment, Florida. So, what visit is not complete without driving by the house/neighborhood that you grew-up in? Talk about bring back awkward memories… Sharon would point out where I would sneak a cigarette, the area where we would shoot the BB Gun, etc. After which, the gang visited my folks and went through the photo album! My wife was pretty amused with my sisters’ first Perm Job. Funny still were my “double-chins.” Don’t think my wife found the chubby kid attractive. Sounds like the family is having a grand old time. My Dad plans on driving Kristen in an Old Model T Hot Rod to the Graduation. Something certainly very unique. Can’t wait for the Photos. Well, Same old stuff here. Can’t wait to get back to the real world… Will update when I can. Doug
