Marcia,
I'm sitting at work, catching just a few quick posts ( yeah right, ALL of them) and come across your funny rememberings. I am rolling in the floor laughing, thinking of how you parted from Cecelia and Me and others and headed UP the stupid hilly parking lot (not down) to a racy little number of a truck (at least half the size of Eric's and without fifteen other people STILL sitting in the bed of the truck) **still trying to compose myself** and try the door handle, look inside the "heavily tinted" windows and alas -- No Sharon! At that point you paused (thinking "OH my God, how many people saw me do that") and very calmily proceeded back down the hill to the appropriate REALLY BIG TRUCK and a quiet explanation to a few. Then I read the part about us laughing at our Mama and am overcome with guilt (NOT).

Really, we were just laughing with you! Thanks for the Monday am laugh. Just one more of those great memories
