Pookie Lives



So, I'm on this facebook thing. It all started out as some mistake, but one day I decided to get on there and see what it was all about. I was hooked, and then I kinda lost interest again, but recently I have found a friend of mine that is very near and dear to my heart. We've been friends for about 15 years now--that statement makes me feel really old. I first met him at Bellflower High where he was wearing tights and entirely too much stage make-up--we went on to have a lot of laughs and a lot of fun.

There are people that we sometimes think were meant to be in our lives but for a small moment. And sometimes we wish that were not the case--that they would remain in our lives a little longer because the thought of not having them in our lives seems ludicrous. Scott was one of these friends. I don't know how or when but we lost touch. Life just happened to both of us. He has, however, resurfaced and I cannot begin to tell you the joy I feel. He has always been a wonderful friend, despite our lack of communication. I am elated to be in touch with him, and thought I would share a couple of pics so you get a sense of the wonder that is Pookie!

I don't know how this one ended up in my hands, but it's a gem!


This had to have been when he had been recently hired at the cookie shop--still wearing braces, and the beginning of that crazy mane of his.

Scott and my little brother having fun--Scott, may you never run for office, and if you do may this picture never resurface.

I had questioned whether or not I should post these pics. I showed them to my husband and he said they were pretty innocent. "If anything they will just really embarrass him." Those were his words. And then he said--"Just call it retribution for not inviting you to his wedding." He said, and I thought--"YEAH!" Love you!

Oh how I love my Carol!!! I am still amazed at your strength and even though I know you joined the church for the cute blonde blue eyed boys (hahah- Just kidding!), I KNOW you have a deep strong faith which is such a blessing to all of us! I LOVE YOU and am also a new facebook junkie who converted her hubby to join and now he's an addict too! It's so great to find old friends again!
