Bios: Gayla Archer Babcock
Happy TGIF,
In one week, at 6 p.m. Friday, July 29, we'll be gathering at Swan's Landing on Lakeshore Drive just off the south end of the Long Bridge. Hard to believe so much time has passed since many of us have seen each other. Let the gabfest begin!
Let us know today if you're planning to come. Of course, we'll still be happy to welcome you if you should decide over the next few days to join us. Just trying to get as accurate a head count as possible. Thanks!
Today's bio: (more coming when we have the latest batch of registrations). Send your information to malove@imbris.net.
Gayla Archer Babcock: My son, Jim, got married in 1995 and in 1998 our granddaughter, Devon Rose Bristow, arrived. She is an Army brat, has long curly hair, is gorgeous, brilliant, tall, full of energy and everything else that I always wanted to be. They are in New Jersey right now so we don't get to see nearly enough of them. Jim spent a year in Iraq and I am very thankful that he is stateside now.

In 2003 Bob retired from tree trimming and started driving inter city buses. In 2004 it became apparent that my Sandpoint clients wanted more time than I could give them from Coeur d'Alene. This coincided with my second and Bob's first "empty nest" so we sold our home in Coeur d'Alene and bought one in Sandpoint. We have been back for a year, and I have seen very few people in Sandpoint that I know--or else I haven't recognized them. In May in addition to my bookkeeping service, I started a long-term escrow company and have been buried in work ever since.
Sandpoint is a good place to be but it isn't the same as it was in 1965. We enjoy the proximity to the mountains and lakes even though we haven't had a chance to do much fishing or camping, but we miss the shopping available in Coeur d'Alene. All of life has had it's good things and its bad ones, we are learning to enjoy what we have and to accept what we can't change.
Gayla
