HELLO EVERYONE! BARB AND I SPENT A DAY AT THE BILTMORE HOUSE IN ASHEVILLE. WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME! SIDE NOTE...WE OVERHEARD A COUPLE TALKING TO SOMEONE THAT THEY WERE FROM CLEARWATER FLA. WE NEEDED (REALLY NEEDED) OUR PICTURE TAKEN (FIRST ONE IN THE SERIES) SO THIS COUPLE PASSED BY. AFTER THE PICTURES (WE HAD TO TAKE ONE OF THEM) I TOLD HIM WE OVERHEARD HE WAS FROM CLEARWATER FLA, HE SAID YES!! HE ASKED IF I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL THERE..I SAID YES...HE ASKED WHEN?...I SAID 1971...HE SAID "WOW"! IT JUST SO HAPPENS HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE CLEARWATER HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1971..40 YEAR (2011) REUNION! HOW WEIRD IS THAT! WHAT ARE THE ODDS...HE ASKED IF I KNEW THIS PERSON AND THAT PERSON...NOPE I SAID. DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY OR THIS...PLEASE LET ME MAKE THIS EASIER FOR YOU...I DON'T REMEMBER A WHOLE LOT FROM THAT TIME.(I WONDER WHY)

ANYWAY...ENJOY THE PICTURES. WE "REALLY"HAD A "PHUN" AND "SPECIAL" TIME. I FEEL WE HAD SUCH A "WONDERFUL" TIME IT WILL LAST A LIFE TIME!!
