I haven't lived in Natchez for over 24 years. I don't even get to Natchez much because my parents don't live there anymore, but when I do I try to see as many people as I can. I drive around and visit my favorite spots. I often think about people from Natchez who meant so much to me growing up. They still live my heart even though I haven't seen them in years. So you can imagine how it felt being around 500 people and knowing most of them.. I didn't get my voice back until yesterday. The whole weekend was magical.
I drove down on Thursday and visited with my nieces in Hattiesburg, who were working at a Civitan Camp for handicapped children. I loved seeing all these wonderful young kids giving such love to these special needs children. Here is a photo of my nieces, Rebecca and Madison. I took many photos that night, but this kid is the kid who is staring in a movie next year with Jennifer Garner.. I think the movie is called BUTTER. He was so thrilled to be the local movie star.
My sister Pam graduated the year behind me so she went with me to the reunion. We stopped off in McComb to see my parents. Dad is on Facebook and wanted us to show him one more time how to see pictures of everything. He was looking forward to seeing all the ones from our friends. He thinks we all look like our parents. You think?

I love old cars. I don't know who this car belong to, but I did see this pretty women get out of it in a vintage dress. I heard she dresses like that all the time. I don't know her, but I thought it was cool.
Here are a few classmates from South Natchez High. Class of 1977'
I went to school with some of these folks from Kindergarten up.... for one weekend we were all kids again having a swell time.
I stayed with the Vassers. Jimmi Lou and I have been friend since I was 16. We don't see each as often as we would like, but we still talk from time to time. We never run out of things to talk about. I am so glad I have her in my life. Phil is pretty special, too. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQG9XbV1IMlk6Z08prriO3b_2rIXShIzoy8wcs2WeL56ltggFYgj3EsRq1PZNf34GIYTxAkqNXCz1f8UthQxARy0STYsBWMZ6qt2IA80DVX-xKegH24XW_m2KpqSfUgh-TP2RZirVzWoe/s640/IMG_8244+copy.jpg)

I take so many pictures in a week that I can not possibly post them all here, but I wanted to tell you what a great time I had returning to my home town of Natchez, Mississippi. A place I dearly love and miss.
