Potluckers

My Potluck group met together this last weekend in Montgomery where we all have been brought up and went to school and church together. It has been a long time since we actually met in our childhood home town because we mostly have been traveling once a year to meet on vacations at the lake or at the beach.
We all enjoyed eatting at Montgomery's Jubilee seafood restaurant. Nancy joined us later at the table coming from her annual rodeo visit.

Her parents were "the rodeo" during our day and it is in her blood to make an appearance there. Each one of us can tell a story about our fun times at the rodeo with the Wilson family. Sure hope some of our other fun stories told at the table this night were not too loud for others eatting there! As usual Sarah had us in stitches with her tales
Ree's mother had sent over a huge box of fresh camillias from her yard.


Martha put them all over her parents' house and we all felt so special with the southern touches added to our weekend gathering. Every bedroom and bathroom also had a "touch" of our roots to remind us of the many things we love about our lifelong friends.
Sunday morning everyone except Miriam went to First United Methodist Church together where we all grew up. The old familiar faces who are still members there made us feel so welcomed. Sitting in the pew worshipping together in our midage stage was quite a memory we will cherish.
The highlight of the weekend was going to lunch with Dr. & Mrs. Paul Duffey, who was our pastor during our youth and performed each one of our weddings in the 70's. He has watched us grow up and having this meal with them was the weekend's icing on the cake!
