I just moved out of the house I have lived in for the past 30
years. I cannot stress the stress this has been. I have some
incredible friends and family who gave me wings. I felt like I was
caught in a tidal wave and God moved me to shore. I am now
living in a beautiful three bedroom home apartment and feeling
very free of the stress of owning a home. Now, I can travel to
Australia to see my daughter, Renee`, and her family who
moved there last June.
My son-in-law was with Citi Bank, and as one of their Vice
Presidents he told them they were in big trouble, and they would
not listen. Soooooo he got a headhunter out and they found a
CEO job with OnZed Bank in Melbourne. I am back and forth to
Concord, NC (one hour away) to see my other daughter,
Bethany, and her family. I now have 6 grandchildren. Renee`
has four and Bethany has two. I thought I knew what love was
all about, but, boy was I wrong.
I am still working Nation Wide with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and
because I aged out of becoming a National, I started substitute
teaching to meet new people. What a blessing that has been. I
just celebrated my 30th year with Mary Kay Cosmetics and last
Saturday I picked up my 14th free car the company has given
me for enjoying my work. Remember, we can all make a
difference by making everyday count.
On March 6, 2010 my father passed away in Houston, TX. He
was buried in Tucson. The love and support I received from
members of our class who are part of the Lunch Bunch while I
was in Tucson can never be measured. Judy Lucky opened her
home and heart to me, as did the girls at the luncheon and then
at a breakfast. It was so meaningful to see everyone and tie
ends together from the past. I am excitedly looking forward to
the Reunion in October. Little did we know how much the past
would mean to us today.

One of my favorite songs from our high school days -
"A White Sport Coat and a Pink Carnation" by Marty Robbins
