The Eyes Have It

Kathryn had an eye appointment this morning with our wonderful friend and past neighbor John Wimbish. We lived next door to them for three years when we first moved here to Texas and at the time, they had one little boy, Weston, who is now almost 7 years old and in the first grade. John's wife, Lori, is also an Opthomologist but works down in Dallas area, so we have always just gone to John. In the meantime, they have had two more children; one while we were still neighbors, Addie and now they have another son, Aaron, who is two. All three of my children babysat their kids and we became the very dearest of friends. We introduced the church to them, but although they never showed more than polite interest, they are very active and religious in their beliefs.
What a fun visit we had with John today. We always have such fun catching up on the past months. He thinks Kathryn needs glasses for reading so we went through the process of finding just the right prescription and frames for her and then we were on our way after a few fun camera shots.
Good people, the Wimbishes. We need to have them over for a barbecue or something...do some missionary work again. When we were neighbors, WE had the pool and big back yard with barbecue and all...now, they have moved to Allen and THEY have the big house, HUGE backyard with pool and so John thinks it's their turn to do the entertaining. I think we'll take them up on the invitation this year and do some fun reminiscing about past years... one of those 'simple pleasures' I want to get back to.
