I went to a huge school but have kept track of the ones I was closest with, thanks to FB. When we cross paths with one of them we make sure and stop in.

Have to laugh at your stadium "hollowed ground". Love it that you two have such a shared passion. The lakes look lovely but if Barefoot Bay was voted best in NE Texas and the roads are so terrible that says a lot about any other campground around. I always wonder voted best by whom!

It's always interesting to find out where classmates have come from or moved to. I'm still friends with only a handful of people I went to school with, but it's fun when we can spend time with them again. Great spot on the lake too :-) Rene https://www.blogger.com/profile/12780561678301320661noreply@blogger.com
