A Visit from a Good Friend

So I got a call Friday Night from none other than Mr. Tom Sommer; Dad of one of my best friend's as a kid growing up, Aaron. He was in town for a pre-planning meeting for the Grazing Land Conservation Initiative. They are having their 3rd National Conference on Grazing Lands here in St. Louis in December. Check it on out if you have any cattle you want to let loose!

We went down to Laclede's Landing and had a nice dinner at the Morgan Street Brewery. It was really, really nice seeing him and talking about times past. For those who know me well, I spent a ton of time at Aaron's house as a high schooler and Tom's influence and humor has had a lasting and positive effect on who I am today. Good seeing you 'ol friend.

Aw, Tom looks wonderful! That is nice that he called and had time to meet you guys for dinner! How is Pat doing? Are they still in Washington? Let's see...he is 60 yrs.old? I think that they are a little bit older than me.....
So great that you could get together with him and share old times. They couldnt' come to the wedding so I'm sure you had lots to talk about. Great entry!

Love,
Mom
