I could never have imagined that my life would take the course it has. How short sighted I was - living for the moment. It took a long time for me to grow up! I'm still growing and changing, and even if life hasn't dealt me the hand I thought I wanted, I'm grateful for the hand I now hold.
Real Estate has been my profession, following in my mother's and my grandmother's steps. I've sold real estate since 1971 in Austin. Still working!
Now: Goldwater Real Estate
I've started back playing duplicate bridge! No more golf!!
Still love to cook because I love to eat!
Lunch Time - 10th grade? Lunch Room Austin Hi
Some boys (rats) took the tail of one of the rats we had dissected in science class and put it in Judy Gillespie's milk. She drank half her milk and there was the rat's tail. Made her sick and she had to go home!!
Does anyone remember the rat who did that!
There is a hole in my bucket.
That God is real and growth is painful. I've learned that change can force growth, and change is inevitable. Thank God. I couldn't stand it if I couldn't look forward to change! Because, then there is HOPE!
It's scripture: All things work together for good for those who love God and are called for his purposes.

Sharon, I was glad to see that you checked out the website. Please come join us at the monthly luncheon. There are about 15 to 20 who regularly attend. I've had to relearn some of our classmates names because we don't look like we used to!! And I have just taken over the admin and don't really know what I'm doing but I hope to make some changes to our website. However, if our classmates would update their information, now that most are retired, it would be easy to catch up with old friends.
I was glad to see that you have checked in at the website. You are close to Austin so I hope you will join us at Abuelos on the third Tuesday of the month. We would love to see you. Don't worry that you won't recognize anyone!!!
