A busy weekend so far and still one more day to go!
Carol and Cathy arrived about 3pm on Friday safe and sound. Friday night the four of us went to Zio's for dinner along with Tom & Clarissa Robinson, Cathy's daughter Katie & her boyfriend John Micheal and a surprise visit from Ken Wasko! Great time with lots of catching up and laughing going on. BTW in case you are wondering I had something different...cheese pizza!
Saturday we had a big breakfast and then headed out to downtown Charlotte. We stopped by to see Katie's office, her apartment, Jared's house and then headed downtown. We ended up having lunch at RiRa's and it was very good. From there we walked around for a while and then went home, regrouped and went to downtown Concord to meet another set of Vestal friends...Robyn & Mike Slattery and Dave & Cathy Chubb along with the 3 of us. Mike also invited one of his friends, Steve so there were 8 of us...Cathy, Katie and John Micheal went out on their own. The Wasko's were going to try to make it by for a cocktail but couldn't work it out. After dinner we ran by Stephanie's and Shawn's house since they were only about 1 mile away. They had some company over and had a fire going in their fire pit...BTW all 8 of us went! From there the Chubb's, Barbara and Carol went to the Chubb's house so Carol could say hello to Dave's Mom who was in town. Robyn, Mike, Steve and I went straight to Robyn's house. The rest of the group got there had a quick drink and then we headed home. Another late night but then again anything after 9:30pm I consider a late night!
Today all our kids are coming over for lasagna and football. Barbara made the lasagna on Thursday so since the majority of the cooking is already done everyone should be able to just visit and have fun. Katie and John Micheal will be here also to meet the kids.
Like every weekend this one was very busy and went by extremely fast. We always enjoy hearing from Carol and when we get to see her it is an added bonus. BTW Cathy lived in Virginia Beach when we lived there. There were 4 girls living together in a house and in the same neighborhood were 3 guys renting a house. The girls ended up dating some of the guys but Cathy married the one she was dating...unfortunately it didn't work out and they divorced after 20 years. She has 3 kids...19, 22, 24...Katie is the 22 year old. Cathy lives in Atlanta so she is just a 4 hour ride from Charlotte. We figured it has been 30 years since we have seen Cathy!!
I just want everyone to know for the record these girls can talk!!
Well I had more responses from yesterday's email then all the POD's I have done so far. Carol is very upset that everyone thinks she was "easy" when she was younger. To clear up everything I asked Siri yesterday how many guys Carol Simpson has slept with in her life...Siri could not come up with an answer so it was either too many to count or none. I know everyone knows that we were just having fun and Carol was not that kind of girl. If you are worried about mine and Barbara's marriage you don't have to because as you will see in the attached photo's Carol has traded me in for a younger model.
They will be headed back to Atlanta on Monday morning and Carol heads back to Illinois late Monday afternoon.
Attached are a few pictures from the weekend.
