Arts and Craft Festival, Bastrop, La

Mama and I had a booth at the fall festival in Bastrop where we not only sold many books, but reconnected with many friends in the town where we had lived years ago and where I attended school 12 years. It was so much fun seeing everyone again. The festival was wonderful with many vendors and live entertainment by one of the locals who has made a real name for herself.

There was also a car show in the center of the building. At lunchtime about 35 of my BHS classmates met for lunch in a nearby building. We really did have a good time catching up with each other since our school days.

More Fall travels

Last weekend in October I drove to Ruston, La, to the Louisiana Tech tailgate party prior to their 'Homecoming game' and to visit two classmates whom I had not seen since we graduated high school in 1965 at Bastrop High. Beverly Leachman Johnson lives in Ruston and met me at Starbucks prior to the tailgate party. We then drove to the campus and walked to the tailgate party to meet another classmate Susan Odom Pincus who lives in Florida.

It was a fun time at the tailgate party and catching up "somewhat" after so many years of not seeing each other. I also met her handsome husband, Howard and her son.
