20 year High School Reunion

It's hard to even type the title of this post! Can I be old enough to have been out of high school that long?!? According the the documents at Pillow Academy, I am! About half the class of 1991 descended on Greenwood, Ms. We got a tour of the school and lots has been added since our glory days - a new fine arts center, new locker rooms, new weight room, new courtyard and getting new front entrance to the main building. We had a nice social event at Lyn's home in which we caught up with old friends and saw pictures of classmates and families and last but not least, watched some of the Senior Play - Cinderella. I was one of the wicked step sisters, with Amanda (on my Right in the pic of 4 girls)and had to talk with a lisp! It was humorous to say the least! Good to catch up with Amy (on my immediate Left in pic of 4 girls), now mother of triplets in KY, whom we ran many a mile together around that hot track! Always wonderful to see Riddell (on my far Left in pic of 4 girls), whom we came up together at St. John's making Macaroni Jewelry together! Good times! Other special moments were visits with neighbors who watched me grow up like like the Parham's and Mrs. Tharpe (Upper Right Photo). The biggest treat was getting to stay in the home of Mr and Mrs. Stansel (upper Left Photo), my former English teacher in Junior High. Her daughter and I remain good friends and their family has set a good example for me and I have much respect for all of them. But the most fun I think I had was getting to show off my husband and child. Many thought I'd never marry and now there is evidence there is a God and He cares about me and YOU! It was good to go home and remember all that many had done to help me grow up. You can't forget where you came from. And Greenwood is one of those places that you never really get away from no matter how far you travel. I have met people from Greenwood or who have a Greenwood connection when I have been overseas! It's crazy! I'm grateful for where I am and grateful for where I came from. Thanks to Brent and all that planned a great weekend!
