OLD FRIENDS IN A NEW WAY

We had one busy last 4 days! First off, I was mistaken in believing that Chicago is one day away. Well, it is, technically. It is 14 hours. But with bathroom breaks and meals, and... a little shopping in Albertsville, MN it is really 19 hours! 19 LONNNNGGGG hours, that is. If ya have to drive that, it's good to be with people who are fun to be with. Which meant the trip was do-able.

So, we made the long drive to go to an ASL Special Assembly. And one really fun part was that this ASL Assembly, I actually knew people! Many friends I know from Omaha were assigned there also! So, I managed to get a "few" pictures of them. Wishing I had gotten more!

Wait, I didn't know, Fred was in Sign Language? But where is his family? And... who is that sister? This really threw me. Until I had an oh!!!! moment. This is Fred's twin brother!!?!?!!? Forgot he had a twin brother! So, I told him he looks JUST LIKE Fred! He said, "No! Fred looks like me!"

And, new ones in ASL!!!! And, old friends who visited us last winter. We became good friends from that visit when I found out who they were related to. Well, they became good friends because they are awesome people! It was so great seeing them all again!
