Last Dinner All Together

Our family our 11 is splitting which is very sad. We all joined this band-wagon together in late August and really hoped we would be together for at least 2 years. Unfortunately my two good friends John and Flynn were not asked back to ACS - even though they had signed a two year contract and even though they didn't want to leave. There are many issues which have had a negative affect on all of us and will be a tough year ahead.

However we all got together for our last dinner together. It was (and always has been) great company, great anecdotes, sharing, laughing, picking on each other, reminiscing, eating a lot of good and of course, drinking a lot of wine! Mom enjoyed herself, as she can now put a face to a name! Mom was our photographer at the end of the evening.

I will especially miss hanging out with both John and Flynn. Fortunately, Flynn will be here for most of the summer. So I say good-bye to you John and I wish you safe travels back to Idaho or Iowa (sorry can't remember) and hope you can relax this summer and breathe in the fresh forest air, see the peaceful animals, and explore the lush green outdoors. Keep in touch!
