Old Friends

Mom and I got to have lunch today with some old friends. Not old as in age but old as in known each other a LONG time :) Linda is one of my mom's best friends from high school and Roxan is her daughter. Linda lives in Round Rock and Roxan moved to Port Neches a year ago when she got married. Roxan is also a teacher and we have been saying that we need to get together and it's sad it took this long, but I am glad we finally did. Her mom happened to be in town this weekend so it worked out great that our mom's could get together too.

We had so much fun catching up. Linda and her family lived in Port Neches when we were kids but later moved to Round Rock near Austin. My mon and Linda would get together and all the kids would play for hours. Roxan is my age and I have such great memories of those times. It's crazy because Roxan lived in Round Rock and met her husband online...he is from the Fort Worth area...after they were married he got a coaching job in PNG...where Roxan grew up and went to school. Roxan said she could never have guessed that she would be teaching in the same school district she went to school in or living in Port Neches where she grew up. Funny how life works out!

This is a picture of all of us at Roger's Park when we were little with Jennifer's (another friend of mom and Linda's from highschool) kids too. FYI-that's our station wagon in the parking lot on the left :)

After lunch mom and I went shopping on Boston Ave. I am not in that area much so whenever I am I love going shopping at the cute shops in the downtown area.

I especially love this little antique shop. I love looking in antique shops although I never buy anything. Most things are way too expensive and I wouldn't really use any of it but is is fun walking around just looking. You never know what you will find. 

It was a great day and I am looking forward to getting together with Roxan again soon!
