I’ve managed to make contact with several friends I haven’t seen or spoken to in many years through the existence of this website. Coming from a military family and moving every 2-3 years throughout my childhood, the friendships I made growing up typically ended as soon as Uncle Sam gave us orders to relocate.
Whether it’s through growing apart, a new job or relocation, or simply moving to a new area, you find that people come and go througout your life. I’ve often wondered where some of the people that were significant in my life have ended up. So, through the power of the internet, I am going to try an experiment and see if I can find any of these long lost friends. I’m not talking about hiring an investigator, but simply posting a blog entry about each of these individuals including the timeframe and circumstances that we knew each other and hoping that a miracle, web search (or someone who knows them) will help us reconnect.
Where are they now?
- Brian O’Conner
- Sheri Lewis
- Michele Bryden
- Chris Ewing
- James Wilson
- James Murati
- Florrie Metta
- Steven Jones
- Southall Lloyd
As I create individual posts I will link their names to each blog entry. Let’s hope I can find some (or all) of these long lost friends!
We went to a park today. When I climbed up a hill, I looked back and saw Mommy waving at me and I waved back to her three times! Daddy let me crawl all over the grass and it was lots of fun (I even got grass in my pants). In these pictures I am crawling up on Dad, investigating the camera.
I got all smiley faces this week so I got my kite! It is a butterfly with lots of different colors. At the park after I helped with the kite I went down the slide and played with Abby. In this picture I am playing in the grass.
Today we went to fly the kite Ari earned for good behavior all week. The kite is shaped like a butterfly and not the easiest thing to fly, but we got it up a few times
Chuck tried for a bit while Ari helped and I kept Abby entertained, and later we switched and I tried to fly it as Chuck played with the kids (Ari was helping intermittently). We went to a local elementary school so there was a playground. I’m adding in a few pictures for your viewing pleasure, and I think Ari and Abby will “post” in a bit. Chuck takes like an hour to write an email sometimes, so I’m not sure if you will hear from him, but if you do, I’m sure it will sound better than my rambling!
Well, for all you Nibbana followers there are out there (Hi Dad) I’m just updating. We are in an odd situation. Our condo is on the market and we have had a few showings. IF (and as you can see it is a big if) we get a contract on our condo, we have nowhere to go. In other words, there are no houses we want to buy (that we can afford) so we may be out on our butts. Obviously, we’d have at least 3 weeks to figure something out. Our options are to move in with family and get a storage unit or rent something month to month. Living with family is cheaper, but of course you end up with some inconvenience. We could do this for awhile and hope the market corrects itself while we wait, so we can afford something we want, but I’m not sure it will correct itself that much. There are a few houses out there we could buy, but there is “something ” wrong with each one, for example this house, which has a nice yard, but is pretty ugly or this house, which looks ok and has a great lot, but is on a busy road or this house which backs up to powerlines.
Anyway, that is the goings-ons in my head, and I’ll bet Dad is thinking of spiders, so I wonder what is up with Chuck? – Poor guy is working on something for work
