Terry H.

We had a wonderful time visiting Terry H. who now is living in Denver, CO. She gave us directions to her town house, and we quickly found our way and sat and visited, checked out her home, and had a great time catching up. We then went for lunch at a Mexican restaurant and kept on talking. When we came back outside, there were grey clouds overhead, so she went home to wait for a workman to come and install a ceiling fan in her bedroom, and we went back to the motor home to close windows. We agreed to meet for dinner at her son Josh's home, and she gave us directions on how to get there.

Terry has three children: Steve, Josh, and Joie. Josh and Joie are both married and living in the Denver area. Steve lives about 100 miles north. We followed her directions, got lost, put on our GPS system and found our way to Josh's house. Of course, it took asking a neighbor if we were at the right house since no one seemed to be home. She had never heard of Josh, so she checked the neighborhood directory, and we were one house away from where we wanted to go. So we drove next door to find Terry enjoying Josh's two boys. Terry was babysitting for the weekend while Josh and his wife were in Phoenix.

A short time later Joie and her husband Scott and their two kids (a boy and a girl) appeared, and we had a fun time. We had not met Scott or any of the four grands, all three years old or younger. Just as HW2, Terry is known as Grammy to the grands, so I am including a picture of Grammy Terry and her four. We have known Terry since all three of her kids were in middle school about 25 years ago. The grands were lively and beautiful, and we talked and talked. Joie is starting her first year of teaching high school English.

We also found out that Terry confuses left and right which makes directions interesting. But who cares, we had a great time visiting with good friends!
