A VISIT FROM NANCY

Nancy's truck and fifth wheel parked next to the house

When we lived in Central CA, back in the days when the Harley, and the associated activities were more prominent in our lives, we first met Nancy when she married a friend of ours. Patty and Nancy became best buddies, and we shared a lot of really good times with her, and our circle of friends. Like a lot of friendships & relationships, over time, and for various reasons, they often take different paths. Such was the case with Nancy.

Around the time we were starting to devote much of our lives to the Harley Dealership that we built in Jamestown, Nancy, who lived in Merced, became unattached, and we kind of drifted apart. We kept in touch sporadically, but as time passed, we lost touch with each other. Enter the magic of social networking. Patty and Nancy have commented that they often thought of each other, but until Nancy searched facebook, and found us, the friendship remained in hibernation.

When Patty drove to CA in November of last year, in preparation for her trip to Greece with her son David, she contacted Nancy, and met her for dinner. The friendship was rekindled, and plans were made for Nancy to visit us in AZ this winter. When Nancy retired from her job in January, she and Patty made plans for her to visit us here in Lake Havasu. Thursday night, she arrived, after a long drive from Merced. Yesterday, she and Patty toured the city, and we all caught up with what's been happening in our lives.

The two pictures of Nancy & Patty were taken last night, and yes, I'm still having trouble with the flash on my camera. It seems to have a mind of it's own, and last night it was saying, "I refuse to work". So, I had to artificially lighten the pictures, and they're a bit fuzzy, but it was good to capture these two friends on camera.

Today, the wind is calm, the temperature is supposed to be in the mid 70's, and I think it's a perfect day to take the boat out on the lake. We put it in the water on the 2nd, and it's just sitting in a slip at the marina for the entire month of March, waiting for us to jump in, and cruise around the lake. Spring break is right around the corner, so it will be fun to take in some of the action from the water.
