Visiting Eagle

This morning I met up with a new friend at Rembrandt's Coffee House in Eagle. We are planning a mutual friend's baby shower. I always enjoy a new friendship.....  This coffee house used to be a church near downtown Eagle. I even remember when it was as I used to go to elementary school less than a mile away. Our bus drive by that church every morning and every afternoon. They sure did a great job fixing it up. Not only did I enjoy a great cup of coffee in a great atmosphere but I ran into two of my closest high school friends. I love small worlds!!  

Since I was only a mile or so away from my elementary school that I went to for K-3 before moving to Meridian, I decided it was worth a stop. It is amazing how these schools never change. 

The strongest memory I have of Eagle Hills Elementary is a negative one, of course. When I was in First Grade, I decided that I was going to jump-rope my way out to recess. My jump-rope decided to get stuck underneath a LARGE piece of concrete that apparently I believed I could conquer.... little did I know.... next thing I knew, my face said hello to the ground. One stitch to my lip later, I was all good! My parents weren't too happy though. We had family pictures that same afternoon with my grandparents. We were unable to reschedule since, at that time, my grandparents lived in Alaska and were leaving the next day. We learned that Olan Mills can sure do some editing!!!! Ok so you can still tell every time you stare closely at my face in those pictures, but that's ok, it makes for  great story now! I even have the scar to prove it!
