A Special Day

Wow, yesterday was so special! I reconnected with a friend I had lost touch with for many years! Sharon Rice (along with her husband Michael and their kids) and I shared many really great times when I was living in Texas back in the early 90's!  Since for a long time I couldn't find their phone number anywhere, we left a phone message for their son, Christion, whom we finally found on the internet because he is now a doctor!! Christion called his Mom at work and gave her Karl's cell phone number.......
Mike and Sharon treated us to dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Mission. We spent a fabulous evening getting reacquainted and giving Karl the chance to meet the people I talked so much about over the years!
 Phew, other than that, we did some shopping in the morning, then tried out 3 of the 4 pools in the afternoon. Beautiful blue skies and 31C.  I actually had to use sunscreen and a hat!! We ended up in the indoor pool because the ones outside were so crowded!
We got the park manager to show us some of the rental trailers .... in case we decide to come back next winter for a month or so. Who knows?  Why wouldn't we want to get away from the snow? The idea is really tempting.  Some of the used trailers here are selling $10,000 to 20,000 and there are also a good number of rental units available.
We also wandered thru Mission and checked out where the house that I used to live in was (it has since been torn down), on Lucksinger Rd, and where we lived on Bryce Rd. Then we went to Sharyland School and told them the kids used to go there "way back".  I spoke to one of the Superintendents - she gave us a Sharyland t-shirt, pens, etc. for the kids!!
Well, busy day and today we'll gather up our courage and go to Mexico and perhaps meet up with Sarah, Kristy's friend.
