What I meant in my post was that the fact that my high school friends are now grandparents and that some of my class has passed on has made me nostalgic for high school. The song was about missing the good old days of high school. Whew...I was going nuts trying to figure out what comment I left that would sound like I didn't like seeing pictures. I was actually just missing the days when I was a kid and all my high school friends were kids too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-5603057456598422472010-08-29T20:55:53.064-04:002010-08-29T20:55:53.064-04:00Rhett, You gave me food for thought with a book se...Rhett, You gave me food for thought with a book series I think I really need to read!<br /><br />What beautiful grandchildren you have! YES they do grow soo fast. We just came back form the lake after spending a weekend with 10 of our little ones whoe always steal my heart. They live in 3 different states and it was great to be together.<br />I copied you your delicious sounding recipe. Especially if you have had it for so long and seasoned it to perfection:) It sounds like on we will really enjoy this fall.<br />~♥Beth at Auntieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01878533662208781834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-52830583392592065912010-08-29T20:04:47.113-04:002010-08-29T20:04:47.113-04:00Rett-I tried to email you but it won't let me....Rett-I tried to email you but it won't let me. I'm trying to figure out what I said about grandkids. I love seeing the pictures. I do wish I got to see mine more than once a month and I wish I had a little girl grand, but I love my little boys. Ours is a bit nontraditional, but I love seeing the pics of your grands...I hope I didn't imply otherwise! <br /><br />As for missing mom...I'm missing her a lot today. My niece was in a boating accident yesterday and fractured her vertebrae...surgery probably tomorrow and my dad is having surgery tomorrow in Florida. When it rains...both should be okay, but I'm the mama hen and I'm worried about them both.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190096917851087676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-47733594663596437572010-08-29T19:07:41.944-04:002010-08-29T19:07:41.944-04:00Oh my goodness!!!!
