50years!
What a terrific and enjoyable task. Revealing intimate details of the adventures of Sue “B”, and where else to mine all the wonderful memories from but the ‘gal pal” weekends.
In the beginning there was:
San Francisco and Chinese New Year:
We ate Burger King Whopper meals for weeks to get enough coupons for buddy passes so that we could fly to San Francisco for $49.00. We had an airport carpet picnic, including “beverages, managed to frustrate our stewardess to the point of her calling us something other than nice, and convince the hotel manager that two women should be upgraded to a suite, and we really did need 10 towels (There was five of us!) Sue truly did “leave her heart in San Francisco” as she met a rather lively gentlemen who loudly proclaimed “I found my woman!” as she walked by.
Las Vegas, was Lady Luck and slots of fun! Colorado showed us all how truly educational brewery history can be……Wyoming introduced Sue to real cowboys, real tractors (John Deere), concerts and tight wranglers. This trip was the year Sue created the indoor sport of “mint pelting”. Watch for it in the summer 2008 Olympics!
Our special trips to Portland left all of us with memories we can’t forget. The best memory was a proud Sue showing us the rose gardens in the park. She neglected to remember that it was February and all we saw were thorns! She made up for it the next trip with box seats to the Rose Festival Parade. Sue, we forgive you. We won’t let you forget, but we forgive you.
Tampa was fun in the sand and sun and Atlanta became a memorable “Gone with the Wind” adventure….. and then there was NEW YORK!!! Just look at Sue’s face and it will reveal how much fun we had and can’t wait to go back.
Each and every moment I thank the Lord for such wonderful friends, and I know I am truly blessed to be your friend. Sue, you are a blessing to all of us and we love you and cherish the time we spend with you. So, happy birthday my dear friend and I look forward to all of our future “Happy Trails”.
