Two weeks ago, Dick and I visited Toledo, Ohio. We used to live there, before we moved to Texas. We moved to Texas 16 years ago. It had been 7 years since we had been back to Toledo. It was so fun to see all of our friends, our old church, and former co-workers and students!
We stayed with our great friends, Janet and Alan Hazlett. Several of those days, they were working. But Dick and Alan got in two big games of golf. Dick barely won, but Alan thought it was incredibly unfair because Dick was using the Senior Tees. LOL
I had lunch with some of my former co-workers…teachers from St. Clement Catholic School. I used to teach music at that school. Those were good days! That school has since closed, so we all caught up on where everyone was working by now. It was so fun to see them!
Funnily enough, I received a text that day, from one of my former students. She was in town for just that day. Could we meet up? So we met and caught up with each other. The last time I had seen her, she was in 8th grade. Now she’s 31. Brittany and I are Facebook friends. I also saw another one of my students, Ryan, in the parking lot of Target. He was there with his wife and baby. Love it!!
That day, I also visited one of the biggest Dollar Tree stores that I’ve ever been in. Wow! It used to be a pharmacy. It was big, clean and very well organized. The Mystery Shopper in me would really rate it high!
On Sunday night, Janet had a dinner and get-together with three other couples. We all used to do things together, and had lots of memories to share. Eighteen years ago, we went with those four couples and one other couple, on a Caribbean Cruise. We celebrated being married for 25 years. It was so fun that several of us went on another cruise, a couple of years later. Now we’re talking about going on another one. I sure do miss these friends!!
On Monday, we went to Sterling Hts., Michigan to visit my cousin, Larry Esser, his wife and granddaughter. We’ve gone way too long without seeing them. It’s always fun when we get together. We also had lunch with Sandy, Larry’s sister.
It’s great to go on vacation, but it’s also great to come home. Where do you like to go on vacation?
