Fast Cars and Blondes

(By Kathy [Lalonde] Young)
Hi all
I have been reading all the blogs and comments. I wish more people would write and make comments about Bob. I want to re-type a story that I wrote before but lost it when I posted. So here goes...again.
The last story I wrote about Bob and I was when we were little kids - best friends. Bob and I grew up together then his family moved away from Natick but that did not end our friendship and family connections. Flash forward to early twenties. We had both finished college and Bob was living up in New Hampshire with his room mates and I was living in Natick with the Mackenzie family who happen to be the people who bought the house from the Hunters. It was a perfect summer day and Bob called me up to ask if I wanted to go to Salsbery beach. I said sure, where are you? He said, "I'm in New Hampshire but I'll come get you". I was really surprised and confused until he showed up an hour later in Pete's convertible spider! I was so pyched and we drove all the way back up to the beach. It was so fun! We sang and laughed and people on the highway were looking at us in envy. We had an awesome time walking around on the boardwalk and playing games. It was such a memorable day. The kind of summer day you see in the movies or in a paperback novel. At the end of the day he drove me all the way back to Natick again. We didn't even mind the summer traffic! Before he dropped me off I said I was so glad he wanted to spend the day with me. He teased me and said he just wanted to drive around with a blonde in Pete's car:)
