Georgia on my mind

In the mid 1980s we lived in the little town of Powder Springs, Georgia. Sister Judy, her husband Kent and their son Luke moved to Kennesaw when Kent's employer, Toys R Us, transferred them to Georgia.  Our families were far too close to remain apart, and we followed within a couple months.  Kent's twin brother Kerry moved there too, and every Friday night for a year and a half was spent at the Denny's home.  Judy always had a great dinner, and the kids spent every minute in the pool. Toys then called them back to Washington, but we remained. 

Our daughters Kelley and Tracey were active in T-ball, softball, cheerleading and Brownies. Kelley's classmate Therasa also played ball, and her mom (also a Cindy) and her family became good friends. Over the years, we lost contact, but once the two Cindys saw each other again touched did that time apart disappear. It seemed as though easy conversation picked up where we left off.  Our kids have grown but of course we haven't aged a bit. 

Powder Springs now has an "historical" downtown that we checked out earlier this week. Quilt murals are painted on the sides of buildings with background information.
