I know I'm still in the grieving process, but I wonder if I've looped back into denial... I'm trying to get out of that, but not quite sure how to do that.
I'm staying in a beautiful little historic hotel in Lewistown, Montana. It's called the Calvert Hotel. It was built in 1909 as a boarding school for the school across the street.
But, to back up. It was great to see Annie.
She's engaged.
She met her fiance through these battles that she does. It's Renassainc-ey. This is me in her helmet, trying to look fierce. What do ya think?
I found this so fascinating in Iowa... lots and lots and lots of these.
Then, on to Minneapolis, where I spent Friday night with my childhood friend Lisa. We talked and talked and talked, and it was as if we had never NOT seen each other, although it had easily been 20 years. Lisa and I met in Kindergarten, and then our parents were best of friends at church.
Saturday was spent at a Soccer tournament for Lisa's youngest daughter, Taylor. She did GREAT, scoring two goals in the 2nd match, (her team won both matches that day).
She is a whiz at making balloon treats.
Then on to my other childhood friend, Beth's. She lived kitty corner across the street from me. Her twin brother, Bret, joined us for dinner.
It was so fun! Her children are precious, her husband is FULL of energy and GREAT conversation.
Then on to Brainerd. Beth and her boys joined me up there to walk the streets of the old neighborhood. More later.
