Made contact with someone I went to NIU with a long time ago. We exchanged pleasantries and he directed me to a Facebook page featuring a group of people I had known from various classes.
I saw two names of classmates who have died. I know a couple of others not listed.
Suddenly I felt old and vulnerable.
Sometimes remembering the past also means remembering that we all have a limited time on this fragile planet.
On a happier note, put up three gallon bags of carrots today. I love carrots. I have a couple more to finish tomorrow. I think I will chop these instead of doing rounds. Maybe they are the secret to a long life.
We are no longer a hole in the wall gang. Our wall is repaired and painted. That is the good news. Bad news, I think I grabbed the wrong paint. We have a two toned wall. Unless it dries a lot lighter. A lot.
Went out to enjoy a couple of glasses of red with a group in Creston. They meet once a month in the old wine store. Everyone brings a snack and their own wine.
I usually don't go because it seems to fall on a zoo day and I don't want to be gone 8 hours and then leave that night. But today was not a zoo day, so it was fun talking with people and sipping the nectar of the vine.
Last night I drove out to the park to watch the sunset for a minute or two. I was on my way back from Emily and John's house and the west looked darn pretty.
My phone does not do it justice.
