gt day 8

Went to calling hours for Betty Smith today.  Betty has been a mainstay in our lives since we first moved to Thompson back in 1992.  Her grandson, Adam is one of my favorite students ever.  Brian and Jason are two of Mike's all time favorite students.  I've always wanted to be like Betty.  She just loves you and tells you what's what.  {however, as Mike so lovingly pointed out, Betty could take it as well as dish it out...I'd have to learn to take it if I want to be like Betty.} She finally is at home, where she's really wanted to be since her Smitty died some 15+ years ago.  I know she's celebrating, but I'm going to miss her.  So I'm thankful that I knew Betty and that I got to see Adam {fresh back from Germany for the funeral} and that the Smiths have been a part of my life.
