What it means to find high school.....


Wow.

I am in awe today.

So....Kayla is going away to school tomorrow. That in itself is one thing. Wasn't Kayla just a small girl? Wasn't she just the little kid who came to the cottage with us? Afraid of a rain storm in the car? Wasn't she just the toddler who wanted to sleep with me because she was cold?

But now, my eldest niece is off. I'm feelin' it. Not like her parents and sister I'm sure, but I am.

So I thought it was time to join facebook so I could keep in touch with her. So I did it.

And then I kind of got that glassy-eyed look like a kid in a candy store. WOW! I could find Jen Lowery, I bet. AND THEN I DID!!! I could find others maybe. I tried. Found Byron - wow!. Then others found me somehow. Then Lea joined up and before you could be sent to the Vice Principal's office (that would be Lea, for readers who don't know that. It's meant to be a joke), SHE has found a page that Karen C created (who else but our fearless co-leader?) for AISP.

Freaken WOW.

I have been to my own private high school reunion.

And it made me think of John Wilson! Isn't that guy Mayor yet? He'd likely do a better job!

What a trip. The only thing left is to know whether or not the John Walker I emailed yesterday is in fact the Johnny Walker I was a child with. If it is, my mind is OFFICIALLY blown.
All this because Kayla's off to Nipissing. I shoulda done it months ago.

Thanks, Kayla!
