On Sundays after Mass I usually meet friends at Betty's for coffee. They are Pat Folsom,whom I taught fifth grade with at Gilbert School and Betty Linscott and she taught first grade at Gilbert and swears that after that they don't learn anything. The other person is Lil Huntington who taught fourth grade with me at Farrington.
Well on this particular morning I told them about Suz and her story that she and Grant were writing about their engagement. When I got done we all looked at each other and then laughed because of this new idea and couldn't think of our own stories and then Pat said Brooks, her granddaughter, just got engaged and told us the story of that. Lil mentioned something abut a justice of the peace but I think she was kidding. I just sort of got married and then Betty came up with the best story---she told Joe that if they didn't get married she was going to Japan to teach. It worked.
Anyway on Sunday we try to solve all the world's problems and have a lot of fun trying.

Carol & Greg
Carol and Greg Barbour have been friends of ours for a long time. Greg has known your father since they were kids growing up in North Monmouth. They are both Polish and had many fun times fishing, playing cards and just hanging around together. I met them thru your father when we lived in Rangeley and they used to come up to play cards. We both had small kids and little money. We went camping together with our kids and had a great time.
Now Carol and I like to go shopping -- we have a route that we travel in Lewiston which includes Mardens, Big Lots, Joann" Fabric and various scrapbook stores. We have lunch and laugh till we hurt.
Now when we get together your father and Greg solve all the world problems and talk about the Red Sox and Carol and I just talk. It is nice to have old friends .
