Old freinds

Yesterday an old friend from high school days stopped by. He was in Aunt Gloria's class but I knew him and his father very well. His dad was a barber in Whittier and looked like the pictures of Mark Twain. Quite a charachter. This man, Clem, lives in Yorba Linda and goes to Rose Drive Friends and went to Plymouth before they moved out there. He came by to get the new pages on the Malta chapter of the bio. We are both continuously amazed at how closely our thinking patterns are. Early this year we had a letter, as did he, from Untied saying we had unsed air miles, would you like to use them for magazine subs? I took, as did he, a six month sub to Barron's, a business weekly. His wife, as did mom, took a year of Sunset. He invests in mutual funds and has set up mutual funds for their grandkids. Plus all kinds of things. His Gwen avocado tree has no fruit set for next year, same as ours. So it is fun to see old friends and compare notes. And wowee, Shacklemom got her hearing aid fixed for cheap in Manila!! This week Peter and Amanda show up in Cagayan!!
