Tuesday's Class......Skipped!

Well, what can I say other than I enjoy the company of old friends over exercise!.....my friend from high school, who lives in Key West, is in town for a visit with her family and we decided to get together and catch up with each other since we have not really had a chance since we graduated over 20 years ago....We packed our coolers, chairs and I grabbed some pizza's and we headed to our beach to enjoy it before she left and before the oil has ruined it.........The beach was great.......the breeze was cool, without a smell of oil, the sand was white and the waves were clear blue with the true white caps like it should be.......but the best thing about it was....NO TOURIST...I say it is best, although our local businesses would love to have tourist, it was nice to be alone on the beach this time of the year......I brought another really great friend from school who lives here in town with me, which was a surprise to Carla and we all ate, drank and visited with each other for over 3 hours.....We talked about the regrets we had about things we did in school and about ones we lost in school and our families......I didn't realize how much I missed the interaction with the two of them until we chatted.....It is great to reconnect after so many years....I think we will continue to stay in touch better after she returns to Key West in a week or so......It is hard for all of us to imagine how badly the oil will impact us......Key West is already feeling the effects as my friends business (her 16 year dream) is down 50%.....I can only image the fear she has for her and her family right now.......please keep her in you thoughts and prayers as her journey has already begun and the oil is still far from her......Also, Please keep my mom in your prayers.....the chemo has been halted for now.....we are hoping she gets some strength back in the interim and can begin to eat again......
