Title:  Another Car ride

We enjoyed seeing all our Grands and Great Grands in the area.  It was a pleasure to see many friends also. One highlight was getting to attend the Seniors Annual Christmas party with the seniors from our home church.

And again, we ran into WalMart to get flowers for Sherry’s family graves. Of course it is impossible to do that as an in and out thing. Just inside the door was a dear friend Bobby Franklin. His family and mine go back to the 1930s. Funny that, because that is one family that Sherry’s family has known a long time also. Bobby married Violet. I knew her and her sister Pansy from their childhood. It is usually Sherry recognizing someone. Well immediately one of her classmates came in the door also.

As I finished talking to Bobby, I saw Sherry now talking to someone else that I had known long before Sherry. It was Barbara Ward Galloway. I knew her as a pig-tailed little girl in the early 1950’s. Her son Jeff was with her.

In the church world Barb’s dad was a minister and a famous song writer. T.N. Ward.

Anyway, so much for running in and out of Walmart. LOL

I did enjoy the trip home. I did get to mow the leaves, clean the gutters, blow the roofs and drives.Grand-daugher Sherece brought about thirty of our picture albums over that have been in her home taking up space. I put them in a climate controlled space downstairs. I spent a long time reminiscing. 

I also dug through a few old boxes. Found all the letters I received from Sherry while I was in the Mediterranean (USN). I also ran across a few blank IBM cards that will be interesting to some of the Grands.  It is hard to believe all businesses had some association with IBM cards. I was trained at IBM. Another example of a GIANT in the business world that assumed they had the world by the tail and did not think outside of their BOX.  

And a personal smile, I found my USMC dog tags. Two sets. One set stamped: Religion. Church of God and one set listed Presbyterian. I am sure when I wore them assumed the one said Protestant. 

Anyway we are back in Deltona. We  reloaded the coach and are about ready for our shakedown cruise. WE arrived here about 1500 (3PM) and now at early evening most is done. Even both computers are back in the coach and  operating.

PS:
The trip was 8 hours about 500 mi. included stops at rest areas to take a break and stretch and gas stops. Next month I won't be able to do that, I will be 80 and OLD!  LOL (Sherry drove a hundred of that)
