My friend, Jan

So does everybody have a friend in their life that is always getting in to trouble in some way? This past weekend I stayed in Charlotte with my dear friends, Jan and Bob. Why, you might ask, am I on my knees with my face planted on the floor? Good question. Jan dropped her necklace through a crack in the floor on the deck and there really wasn't a way to go under the deck and get it. At least not that she nor I were willing to do. So I took a hanger and fished it out. Of course while I am down here doing the "dirty" work, what is my dear, sweet friend doing? Laughing hysterically and yelling for her husband to go get the camera. It is ok. The last time we laughed like that it involved a porta-potty. I won't go into details:)

While I was in Charlotte I also got to see Lee's parents and Michelle's parents at SIM as well as Uncle Dave and Aunt Mary Naff who lived next door to us at ELWA in Liberia and Aunt Helen Inman who was a teacher at ELWA. Additionally I got to spend a little time with Annie, my sister from Liberia. And finally at church on Sunday we ran into Dr. Norm and Barb Geisler who have been family friends since about when I was born. Of course I didn't have my camera with me for any of these encounters. Bummer. But it was great to be able to see so many friends and supporters at one time. Overall it was a fun and restful time.
