| Pamela Jo Loftesnes Granville High School Class of 1974 |
1. I'm a home body. I like safety and security. My dreams of joining the Peace Corps and helping out in foreign countries fizzled when I got desperately home sick attending college 200 miles away from home. I haven't ventured far from home since then except for my 6 year stint in Wyoming.
2. Gardening is fun. I hated gardens when I was young. The family garden was a burden and a chore. Now I feel like my garden is nurturing and life sustaining. I didn't understand those words when I was 18.
3. The first few decades of high school reunions are a blast. After that it's depressing how fat and old everyone is.
4. The only thing more exciting than riding in a fast car with your
boyfriend while listening to Pink Floyd and he has one arm around you touching your breast and the other hand holding a can of Old Milwaukee and steering with his knee is playing CandyLand with your grandchild and he giggles with delight while landing on Candy Mountain ahead of you.

5. Shrimp and steak are still two of my favorite meals.
6. I no longer worry about going to Hell if I don't believe the right things. I'm pretty sure I've dodged that bullet. Not because I'm
good, but because I believe God is ultimately good. I've accepted the mystery.
7. My best friends are the people who've known me the longest. You know who you are. We have no secrets.
8. I didn't start out to be a nurse. I didn't think I was smart enough. And I didn't want to wear the dumb uniform. I still don't like wearing the dumb uniform. But most days I'm smart enough.
9. Find a man who can fix your toilet and keep him. Let the others go on their merry way.
10. 40 years ago I dialed you up on the land line. Now I Text, Twitter, FaceTime, FaceBook, Skype, and Blog. I'll see you there while I navigate the next 40 years!
