The Internet can be a wonderful thing
I got an email from my best friend from high school today. We have not seen each other for probably 30 years. Mostly because I'm a lazy slug and my handwriting stinks and I really hated to write letters. (Our son is lucky - he keeps up with friends via email and IM - I know he would be as bad as I am if it meant getting out paper and pen).
Anyway, her cousin (who grew up down the street from me) came across my blog and my 100 Things About Me post of last January. #16 of 100 things mentions that Nette Harris was my best friend in high school.
So I got an email from my best high school friend. I hope I'll hear from her again soon. I googled her married name and found that she is a Special Education teacher and even found her picture. And she looks just like she did in high school!
Well, I really need to go and pack now. I leave for Ohio at 10:00 am, so we need to leave home around 8:15 or so.

One of my best friends from high school contacted me via email a couple of years ago through Classmates.com! We've not stopped emailing since! LOL!
The net IS a wonderful thing... ;)
