I went to Nogales High School in La Puente,CA. It is a small Hispanic Community about 15 miles outside of Los Angeles. When my family and I moved there I was in the 4th grade, and continued all the way to High School, but life got in the way and my Parents separated.
So, I was pulled out of La Puente High School and we my Mother, a very young brother and sister and I moved to Whittier,CA. where I attended Sierra High School for the second year of High School. My parents got back together and we then moved back to La Puente. Where we found a house near another High School in La Puente, it was Nogales, I was new again,, its just not far for a young girl to go to 3 different High Schools and be a newby.. But, I survived.... found friends and continued on to Graduation. That was in 1966
On Facebook I joined a group called "You know your from La Puente when"... And have connected to lots of friends from both La Puente High School, and Nogales High School.
I found that several of those people live right here in Washington. And not that far from me. So after talking and laughing one woman who lives in Auburn,WA and I got together yesterday for the day of exploring a part of Washington I had never seen before. Since I don't have my car any longer...its tough exploring ...
I must say.. by the time We met down at Pikes Place Market, till the time she let me out of her car.. we never once stopped talking..lol.. Sherry picked me up at 11am and dropped me off at 3pm.. Nothing like 2 women talking for 4 hours straight...LOL.. my voice was scratchy... and I was losing my voice...LOL.. Had one great time and took a few Photos..
We went up to Salish Lodge,, And it was just so beautiful up there... Then we drove around and got to Renton,WA and she said.. OH.. I know where we can have Lunch...and she took me to the same place my Cousin took me when she came to visit me the first year I moved here...2010..LOL,, How funny was that???
Today??? I'm recovering...LOL.. I'm sore.. from sitting in that car.. OH. Its a great car.. but.. my legs are really hurting.. cramping.. and just plain tired.. Will just take it easy today..
But, Next Month We Will Have Another Excellent Adventure...LOL..Hahaaa,, Yep.. Sherry and Barbara's Excellent Adventures... More to come.....
