July Travels

I'm still here, alive I mean. I have been out of town a lot this month.  After our trip to Chicago, I went on a trip with some of my best friends in the whole wide world.  It was a reunion from some of my college roommates.  We went to Orlando for a long weekend.  Just a few short days later I spent some time with my family in N. Little Rock.  It was great to get away and stay in the peace and quiet of the house that I called home for the majority of my life.

So this is not the best pic, but here we all are.  It was a great time to catch up.  I have the best friends!

Here is a quick story to show their love for me.  Probably one that is too embarrassing to post on the world wide web, but they deserve some recognition for this particular event.

On our way home from the big trip, I started feeling very sick, so dear Tara drove my car for me.  In the last less than one hour stretch, I finally blew.  Luckily I had only consumed fluids, and only that due to my friends' concern.  Well, in my moment of out of control of my body panic, my first instinct was to stick my head out of the window.  Have you ever tried to poor anything out of the middle of  a quickly moving car window?  Did you know it blows back in?  My dear, sweet, beautiful friends were contaminated.  They even felt more sorry for me than themselves.  I didn't get a goodbye hug as they dropped me off, but I have talked to them a few times since- true, unconditional love.
