So happy!

I just talked to BUCK - (real name Lee) from high school. He lived right across the street from me and was a wonderful friend. He had an orange Chevy Nova and he gave me and Lisa rides to school a lot so we didn't always have to ride the bus. Lisa recently looked him up and found him on Facebook and hooked me up with him. I have always said I kept in touch with everyone I really needed to from High school, but I realize now that is totally untrue. I am just squeezy with happiness to have talked to Bucklee and gotten caught up, I invited him to my party as soon as I found him, but he can't come - so sadness for that, but it's for a good reason. He is up in Indy so we are going to try to get together maybe next week when I take Michael up to Ed's. YAY!!! I spent lots of time bugging Buck while he fished. Now he has a litle house on a BIG lake and still fishes a lot. Maybe I will go sit and talk to him and bug him while he fishes - only not until summer - I used to sit with him while he went ice fishing! That's true friendship. You know how I hate being cold!

So everything is a happy today, but the thing I thought of earlier when I was planning on writing tonight was candles. I'm really happy for candles and how beautiful they are, how wonderful they can make my house smell and especially that I had time to tonight to relax and enjoy my candlelight and finish my book and just be happy.

Books- by the way, you all MUST read "Fortune's Rocks" by Anita Shreve, I think it is the third or fourth book of hers that I have read and it is another wonderful and well-written novel.
