A Step Back in TimeI took a trip with my mother and sister Nancy to visit my childhood friend in Gainesville. When Paula and I entered the University of Florida in 1965, we had already been best friends for eight years. Our sisters were friends and our mothers were bosom buddies. So, we have a lot of history - memories that are painfully embarrassing (The wacky freshmen guys took our bedspread instead of our lingerie during a campus panty raid!), hysterically funny (We can still sing the entire song for our horrible 8th grade play entitled "Our Lady of Guadalupe"), or sweet (I think she actually gave me her 7th grade boyfriend 'cause I couldn't get one on my own!). We talked and laughed, finished each other's sentences, sang the songs from school, and shared stories. It was very special. Mom was a real trooper and took us to a lakeside dinner in Mount Dora (more like 'very small hill' Dora). And whenever a day ends with hot fudge, you know it has been a great one!

I know. I thought the same thing! Makes me want to break into some Tom Sawyer songs from 4th grade.
Mom, sounds like such a good time. Bet your gums are tired from flapping.
Love wen
Your trip sounds WONDERFUL. So glad we will be part of it. Remember the longer you can spend here, the happier we'll be. Also, if you want the kayaks extra days, please take them. Can't wait to see you. L&R
