Our journey began in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We gradually made our way to the Norman Train Depot. A very gloomy day would not be allowed to dampen our excitement for our travel! About four hours later, we were changing trains in Fort Worth, Texas. The rain was coming down pretty good, and my head was down as I moved quickly toward the station to grab a sandwich before the next train. And then, in the middle of the rain and rush of people, hubby stopped just ahead of me. He looked to me as for help, but I didn’t understand why. He stepped right, so did she. He stepped left, so did she. At first glance I saw the cutest, friendliest woman ever ~ enduring the rain and welcoming all to Texas! Awesome. So I grabbed my camera….yep…even in the crowd and the rain and folks now having to step around us….I had to get a picture of her! Then I looked beyond her blue spectacles…..it was Julie! My Julie! And she had driven three hours, run a 5 K in the rain, then popped over to the station! (and she came bearing gifts, too!) Who would go to this much time and trouble to surprise us? That would be my Julie. My friend since 1966. And this is only part of why I love her so much! ♥
