Friends From Alaska

Friends from Alaska…

A few years back, I had the pleasure of meeting the most wonderful people from Alaska, Connie and Doug VanWingerden. They are a marvelous couple with a terrific family. We had the pleasure of staying with them for a week. We did so many fun things and learned so much from them. They are such a true blessing to me. They took vacation time this April to pass through the southern states; they decided to make Waco one of their stops. We actually met for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, Casa Ole. It was such a lovely visit and it was so good to see them. I told my friends they were such brave souls traveling the south during our severe weather time. She said “We didn’t know!” HAHA. I also had the opportunity in making a new friend. One of Connie’s internet friends, her name is Connie also. She drove down from Denton, originally from the St. Louis area, to see Connie and Doug. We had an amazing time. The trip was not without souvenirs. I also received jelly made from Alaska’s own berries. One flavor is Currant Jelly and Fireweed. It looks a lot like breakfast at home with toast or biscuits this weekend!
