They say if you can't come to the party, the party will come to you.
Our friend Danny has Lou Gehrig's Disease
and he doesn't get around quite as much as he used to.
We decided to pay him a visit and catch up on all the news.
Since we all live in different places now
we planned an unusual sort of reunion-one where we could visit as we traveled.
We planned to meet at different "pit stops" along the way, picking up people as we went, ending up in Pocatello at Danny's house.
We have all been friends since we were born, (living in the best place on the earth).
We grew up on farms- outside a small town with one movie theater, two drive-in restaurants, one small bowling ally, and a lot of cows, so we learned early on how to have a good time with friends.

Barbara, Michael, JoAnn, Alex, and Danny (in front)
We had fun chatting about what is going on in our lives as we passed the beautiful scenery of Southern Idaho.
(Yes, those of us who boarded early got to hear things repeated a few times.)
We met Danny's really nice family and enjoyed our visit with him!
We looked for a tasty place to eat before we started our journey back home.
We planned on a seafood dinner at Red Lobster-but the wait time was too long.
We all agreed that Applebees would work- but found they were closed for remodeling due to a fire.
Ruby Tuesday also had too many people ahead of us in line.
Oh well,
when you are with good company it doesn't really matter where you eat.
We started our journey back home.
The sunset was beautiful!
My husband Ken was our official chaperon!
Alex even made it back to Brigham City in time for the tail end of a reception.
When can we do it again?

What a fun day it sounds like you had with your friends... even if it took some work to find a restaurant. :)
So dad did the driving? Sounds like a good plan. I'm glad you guys had such a fun day. It's fun that you are still good friends with all your friends from your childhood.
