It was chilly in the 30’s, but not bad at all. Here we all are at the football game that night. He’s driving Susan’s pride and joy convertible. Principal and Athletic Director at Dalton High School, so everyone knows him too. It is a big deal to ride in the homecoming parade.

High school football is king in Dalton and they have had 52 winning seasons. I love that! The homecoming parade was a fun look back at how small town America used to be. That’s pretty funny!ĭalton is like Mayberry, small enough that everyone knows each other.

Everyone loves Susan! She has been teaching school long enough that now her first students have children in middle school that she is now teaching. The girl gets around and is hilarious to hang out with. I am sure if any of her students are reading this right now, they will agree. We called her Miss Dalton, because everyone in town knows Susan. I’ve visited her many times up there and gone to several games over the years. Now, I have to tell you that my friend, Susan, is a middle school teacher and has lived in Dalton all her life. Later that day, it was time for a parade for the high school homecoming game that night. We stopped and had a photo op in the backyard with the girls. This log house is 175 years old! Loved it. This beautiful old house is now a dentist office. We stopped in another shop and Susan brought home this “The South” plaque, which is a perfect sentiment for growing up and living in the South. We hit the Meander shoppe for a look-see at antiques.Ĭindy is going to be a new grandmother in the spring, so she picked up this little adorable.outfit. Lots of Christmas inspiration already in place at Handsel’s. We hit a few spots around Dalton on Friday, Handsel’s is a cute shop to check out, so do that if you are in the area. We all think Cindy looks like Paula Deen and she says she gets told that ALL the time. Old friends are the kind you can pick right up where you left off, even if it’s been a few years.Ĭindy, me, Chris and Susan. We haven’t all been in touch over the years, but I think that will change going forward and we will do a better job of staying in touch. I’m so grateful for my long time friends. From a Friday night football game at the local high school, to browsing some shops and lunch out with the girls, it was a memorable time together. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. The girls went shopping one day and then we did a day of all of us browsing in Blue Ridge, GA.

With 2 married couples and 3 of us single, we managed to pack in plenty of fun and just hanging out together. We met at summer church camp when we were teens, so we go WAY back together. Susan and I grew up in Georgia and are both preacher’s kids. We had a larger reunion earlier this summer here in Atlanta and that further opened the door for us to stay in touch again and this mini-reunion was planned. We had so much fun and it was great to catch up again. One of my long time friends, Susan, is from Dalton and invited the rest of us to visit for a long weekend.
