We moved when I was 11, after junior high school most of my friends went to the other school in the district. Thankfully I met my BFF in 9th grade and we're still best of friends.

Disappointed not to see more photos but it’s forgiveable since you were busy catching up with your old friend (and watching adorable bubble-chasing dogs!)! It’s so valuable to have someone (beyond family members) who knew you when you had barely even begun to be you! It was nice to be able to link to the photos in your older blog post, and yes, seeing that snow photo, I’m not quite so envious of Jody! (I won’t ask whether he actually makes it out to the outhouse when there’s that much snow on the ground)… or does he usually head south for the winter in that cute trailer?Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12064986881712695905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-8389041765138266162021-08-08T08:09:16.609-07:002021-08-08T08:09:16.609-07:00What a shame about the gorge.

Most of my friends from school days I'd lost touch with until attending a HS class reunion and following on Facebook. Now, seems most of my friends are from blogging and I've made an effort to meet many of them. You, are still on my list. These bridges are all so awesome.

That gorge fence is c-razy. I can understand the one from the bridge, but beside a walking path? There must be a story there, too.
