Catching Up with the Joneses



While in WA, we were able to catch up with Sid and his family after fifteen years of highly inter-mittent communication. When we knew we were headed up in his direction, we gave him a call, and sure enough, we were able to get in touch with him. After telling him the situation, he volunteered his home to us, and everything else we needed, including a car. He would hear of nothing else.

How fun it was to get to stay with them the week we were up there. It felt like there had never been anytime apart. He is still the same old Sid, just a little more mellow. I guess being 41 does that to ya! But we had a fantastic time with them each night after our wanderings and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Suzanne, and the kids, Gabriella (Gabi, 11) and Matthew (Mattie, 9). How good to know that the bond formed so long ago is still very much alive. We very much enjoyed our time with them. Thanks Jones Family!

  2. I have heard a lot about this guy named Sid. It is good to put a face with a name. All I know is that he taught Aaron to wrestle and would give Aaron red juice and donuts to get going. Did Aaron ever need Red juice and donuts to get going? I thought that just happened. Love ya
