Old friends...

We love being back in Northern California! It has brought so many blessings to our lives.

The most special of those is getting to see old friends that I grew up with. So I'm sharing because our lives have woven in and out of one another over the years, and their very special people to me.

Above is Rhonda Ray and I. The wind was blowing so hard we almost couldn't get a picture. lol But we did... and talk about a Mohawk! haha I went to Cypress Elementary school, Central Valley Intermediate, and Nova with Rhonda. hehe We still have a lot of catching up to do, but what a blessing to have that lifetime connection. 

This is Tonya Lindler and I. We go back to Burney High School. lol She is the neatest lady, and SO funny! It's so nice at our age to have that cynical humor, and share a dose of reality with some. LOL She stopped on her way to a concert in Oakland that she was venturing to all by herself. hehe Adventure is her middle name. haha

This is my friend Jeannie. Talk about special. Marc and I spent last Saturday visiting Jeannie during her recovery from surgery. Rhonda (above) and I went on Sunday to see Jeannie again. We met at Central Valley Intermediate school in the 8th grade. Jean and Chrissey Blue, or commonly known as the Blue twins. hehe I always had a special place in my heart for these two with the common bond of us all being adopted, and our love for horses. Jeannie was in an accident many years ago, and it left her paralyzed. She is still strong and a fighter. I look forward to each and every precious moment that I get to spend with these amazing ladies.

Gilda and I

Jeremy, Gilda, and the boys

Marc and Gilda

This would be Gilda and us. I met Gilda when she dated my son Jeremy years and years ago. She was this fiery little redhead, and still is. lol We've stayed friends over these years, and I've watched her blossom into this amazing woman! Her two children are very blessed to have such a hard working and attentive mom. I think I'll keep this one for many years to come, and we have lots of memories to make. hehe 

Marc and Uncle Ronnie

We also got to see Marc's Uncle Ronnie. What a nice guy he is. I hope he comes and visits us often.

All in all, I feel most amazing at being here! The friends, family, weather, work, and home make Red Bluff such a wonderful place to be. 

Lucky us!

AND

Love to all!
