Visitors from Spokane!

A month or so back, I got an email from my friend Cathi saying that she and her husband Dave would be flying into Tampa and then driving through Orlando on their way to visit family further south the latter part of March. She was wondering if we were still going to be here and if we could meet up for lunch. I immediately double-checked the calendar to make sure our reservations here were through the 27th.

So today we met up with them at a Crisper's over on Highway 27. Neither of our GPS units liked the address of the restaurant, but we were able to find it and then guide them in. What a delight to see them as we hadn't been together since last summer!


Cathi was the Conference Coordinator for several years at the Area Health Education Center at Washington State University in Spokane where we both worked. We have had an "AHEC Reunion" every summer when we have returned to the Spokane area (Cathi has even hosted it at her house, when we decided it was easier for the AHECers with children to meet at a house rather then a restaurant.). We have shared trials, tribulations and joys over the years and are now really enjoying being in the grandmother stage of life.

What made it especially nice today was to enjoy the 80 plus degree weather here while we knew that it was snowing in Spokane this morning!
