Part 4, Conclusion

Well, here we are. This town is only 1 mile square, so it doesn't take long to go through it.

So many changes,,,the old high school is closed, the 'boat club' by the bay now is home to the new high school and million dollar condos on the water. So many old, wonderful trees that lined our streets removed,,,,giving the town a rather 'sterile' look. The old railroad trestle gone,,,,,

We stop and get out at our old high school, walk up the steps and peer in the windows. Still as we remember, desks, etc. Walking by the auditorium doors, recalling the dances, our favorite place to be back then. Recollecting teacher's names,,,

He had suggested to me prior to meeting to bring a camera. Well, I didn't, and he couldn't find his, so we were camera-less. He had wanted us to sit or stand on the steps and grab some passer-by and ask them to take our picture, as he would like to post it in our Classmates website. That would have been so neat, but hey,,,a good excuse to get together again :)

So, we left there and drove down to the bay, to the new park that's there by the water. We sat there and talked for probably another hour and finally he said it was time to get back.

I did not want it to end. He was so very nice looking, so very sweet, and oh, so funny! The greatest sense of humor,,,and he could tell you stories that just made you laugh out loud. When he smiled, his whole face lit up, and he has the most incredible blue eyes,,,charming crinkles by his eyes, wonderful laugh lines,,,,,

So, back to my first title, fun conversations,,,,why, I ask myself, was I not attracted to him in highschool? Why did I always seem to go for the 'wilder' type? The 'Jimmy Dean' type? who's to say, but I did,,,

So, we parted ways, with a peck on the cheek, and he said he had a great time and we'd have to do it again. My heart smiled :)

On my way home, so many thoughts,,,,,WHY didn't we hook up? How different would my life have been? And please, I am not saying I regret my choice in marriage, I had a good marriage and have two wonderful children. But, sometimes, you just 'wonder',,,,,
