At this very minute my mom is driving right through a mix of snow and rain from the north which is meeting that line of wind and rain from the hurricane! She is so brave, and we are praying for safe passage.<br /> P.S. I fell totally in love with Mark. He loved me too for a little while, and broke my heart later. He died unexpectedly several years ago, leaving behind a beautiful wife and children. Those years in band are my favorite memories of life as a teen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456360103620523621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-2682202388333079652012-10-29T07:49:57.865-05:002012-10-29T07:49:57.865-05:00YaY, a post from you!

I love that she takes these trips to see us, driving over 700 miles, through mountains and long, flat plains. It's truly my favorite time of year for this reason.<br /> I also hold in my heart the fall memories when I was in HS marching band, practicing at night on the football field with the lights shining above us, feeling an electrifying charge of excitement. The energy of the music made me fly inside. Then there was Mark, a great big guy with long curly black hair and deep brown eyes. He used to insult me by making comments about my status as a freshman. I alternately was extremely offended and embarrased by his comments and thrilled by his attention. He played the trombone in band but the electric guitar for his garage band.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456360103620523621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-47651246189583269902012-10-27T21:52:01.375-05:002012-10-27T21:52:01.375-05:00LoLy: Thank you, friend, the same to you!LoLy: Thank you, friend, the same to you!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-69976323155008581992012-10-27T18:52:02.125-05:002012-10-27T18:52:02.125-05:00LOL,It is nice to have a short post every now and ...LOL,It is nice to have a short post every now and then :p<br />xoxo Have a wonderful fall :DLoLyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02512685796785327623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-87206144022786856392012-10-26T14:23:34.095-05:002012-10-26T14:23:34.095-05:00Slyde: That's the best kind of thing, too.
