Between Christmas and New Year's for the last four years, we have flown south (for the winter!) to see my dad and Nancy. My sister and her family have driven down from St. Louis around the same time, so we have all gotten to spend some time together at least once a year. It's been a great gift!
Well, this year Rob and I took the boys to Sci-Port to see the model train display. As we were leaving, I realized that Jeff Luce's business was only three or four blocks away (or at least it was the last time I went there - which had only been nine or ten years ago!). On a whim, I had Rob drive by the "last known address" and I hopped out and walked in. A few minutes later, a very suprised Luce greeted me with a hug and came out to meet my family!
This is a very long way of getting to my point, but I liked the story.
Anyway, Jeff suggested I join Facebook. Enjoying the high of reconnecting with a friend from years-gone-by, I solicited a tutorial from my high-tech nephew when we got back to Dad's house... and wah-lah! I became a FB junkie.
You got it. Hello. My name is Christy and I am a FB-a-holic.
Ok, not for real, because I just don't have the time. I have too many irons in the fire. Irons with names like Austin, Robbo, Rob, travel basketball, AAU basketball, housekeeping, laundry, cooking, writing, reading, taxi service, playdate coordinator, etc. But believe me, with a little more time on my hands, I would LIVE on FB!
I love the connections I have made and am still making. I only wish for more time. I am not doing justice to the re-connections I have made. There is so much to say, so much to write, so much to do.
So for now, I will be content with the knowledge of how to get in touch with people only six weeks ago I had no clue how to find. And slowly, one by one, I hope to let them know what they mean to me.
Now... off to Facebook! ;-)
