Now off to meet with Jerry and Pat K. he was a grade/high school classmate that I walked to school with. He lives in Cave Creek which is a small town – 4,000 people. It is in and around the hills, finding his place was a challenge but found. It is in the hill looking over the city at the end of a dirt road. The Vette made it alright.
He gave us the tour of the home and outside seating which is up against the hill. They have lived there for 10 years or so. Jerry is quite the painter, he painted their master bedroom. One day he took all the left over paint and started with blue at the top, light in the middle and sandy brown toward the bottom, looked like a outdoor scene. Of course Pat had to touch it up a bit. Jerry also paints in the Grandma Moses style.
He also made an arch as you approach the house from desert rocks. He has a devil rock, two good luck rocks and a bears claw rock he found out there.
We ended up at The Horney Toad, not the place they wanted to take us but because of all the cycles there it was hard to get into the Mexican restaurant. The toad’s special was fried chicken which Shirleen and I split. Pat a French Dip, Jerry a BBQ Beef with fries. We ere fortunate to meet there daughter Emily who lives outside Phoenix off I17, she had the BBQ Pork with fires. We all ate and talked.
Back to the house for a couple hours of reminiscing. As we did this Emily said if we had facebook we would not have to ask about all the people we wondered about. Cleaver idea, Pat followed it u[ with the thought that for our 50th class reunion we wouldn’t have to talk together as we have caught up today. We discussed the deaths in our classes, the surgery’s we had and ended up hoping we would see each other in September. A fun time but we must head off.
We stayed at the Radisson in Sedona with the mountains behind us.
