Road Trip 2009: Good friends are forever

The reunion wound down with a picnic at the house of two of the classmates. An absolutely beautiful day just perfect for sitting on the deck and enjoying a series of local goodies meant to bring back the memories of 1959.

Dinner at an Italian restaurant with one of Jim's best friends and his wife. The friendship goes back to early Secret Service days and much of the dinner conversation revolved around some of their "adventures". Those of you who know Jim; take that times two and you know the conversation was lively. The people at the neighboring table were both interested and shocked in turn. Marsha and I just enjoyed the "boys" having a good time and mostly carried on our own conversation - we've heard it before - the element of shock is gone.

Tonight we will end up in Peru, Indiana to visit with Jim's first cousin Mimi and her family. Jim hasn't seen Mimi since he was 17 so it should be a fun time catching up.
