March 21

Another beautiful day and lo and behold...when we didn't think we knew anyone in Alabama, we got an e-mail from a mutual friend (who reads our blog) that we were close to where Myra and Herb live (25 miles). Afer a quick phone call, we did get together and what fun catching up. We had not been together since June, 1969 at our wedding. Also, met their daughter, 4 grandchildren and Myra's Mother. So.......here's Herb and Myra, very fun friends from waaaay back!!!
After leaving Herb and Myra, we drove to nearby Lewis Smith Lake and Dam (the 2nd largest earthen dam in the USA) - very large and impressive and beautiful lake. Off to Birmingham and enjoyed the spectacular views from Vulcan Park and the "Iron Man" (pictured above) overlooking Birmingham. Ended the day with Good Friday services at Sacred Heart in Cullman.
