Lagniappe

John felt good enough to go to the ballgame this afternoon - Lady Mocs 71, Appy State 55 - after a really bad (on our part) first half. One of my swimming friends brought us some yummy soup this afternoon - potato/cheese. So nice!
John commented tonight that when I started going to the YMCA, just to get some exercise, I got an incredible extra benefit. I found a whole new family of friends. This group of folks has become a great support group - encouraging exercise, of course. But also there to celebrate birthdays and weddings and other joyous events. To say nothing of the love and support given during illness and surgery and death. We've turned into a family. It's what the Cajuns call Lagniappe, getting something unexpected and good.

Tonight's photo is our swim group.
