Just What I Needed--A Great Day!

I had a great day!

First a mani with Tina!    My nails look and feel great!

Then I drove to Kokomo (through the country - new territory to explore) and met Rhonda and Phylliss for lunch at Chili's.  We hadn't met for lunch for a couple of years, and I have missed them.  That was fun.

Next we went to the old DuPont building at the main Ivy Tech campus for a reception for Jan's retirement.  Jan had sent me a note earlier in the week to invite me to this event.  She was the campus dean at Logansport when I started there, and she became a good friend through my 10 years at the college.  It was fun to see so many familiar faces!  Most of the people I visited with had also retired, so it was good to congratulate each other on the good decision we had made to leave the college.  Also in attendance were many who were still working at the college as well as a few who had left the college but returned for this special occasion.

It was also good to visit with Jan's husband Darrell.  They own a catering business and had catered Matt and Megan's wedding reception at the Canal in Delphi.  Their business is actually located in Pyrmont which is where Blaine and Hilary live.

Also Jan and Darrell live on Prince William Road south of Delphi so our new house isn't too far away from them.  Jan said she was excited that we can meet for breakfast or lunch or other fun activities now that she will be retired!

When I drove home, I took a different through-the-country route so I saw more of the area! 

It was just a good day.  I really enjoyed it!  I even say Ethan and he initiated conversation with me.  As Gary said, he can be friendly to me once again, now that I am not competition for any of the positions he was striving for!  Ha Ha!
