Had a phone call from a friend from my Steubenville days. She and her husband rented an apartment next to ours and we became neighbors and friends.  This was a very interesting time of my life and I hope it was for her also.  She was just up from South Carolina.  She was eager to learn the ways of the northern folks and I was fascinated learning the ways of this southern Belle.  Oh by the way, her name is Sonja.
Sonja and Joann and Becky got along very well.  While I would be doing the laundry or cooking a meal the three of them would be dancing in the hallway.  She would be teaching the girls the Line Dance. Â
Seems Sonja's daughter has a home in Hendersonville which is maybe an hour from here and she is going to be visiting there in two weeks.   She has promised to come over this way to visit.  I will be counting the days.  It will be great to see her again after all these years.  I think she visited one time in Florida.  But it has been a long time since last we saw one another.  Â
Tomorrow friends from Florida will be visiting.  Barbara and her Son Al.  Al is my God Son .   I am looking forward to their visit.  Barbara was one of my very first friends in Florida.  Â
Those darn Yankees beat my Rays both games but only by one run each game and it took them 10 innings to do it both games.  On to Cleveland.
Love and prayers from here to there
