Bonnie and Paula - enjoying time together in Paula's home |
Bonnie and Paula were sisters on the Ubuntu Korea team and the plan for many months had been to stop by "on our way" to Louisiana for a visit. What a great hostess! While in Birmingham, we were moved by our visit to the Civil Rights Institute located just across the street from the Baptist Church that was the focus of 3 bombings back in the late 50's and early 60's. It is a history that we must remember in order that we will never continue those practices again. The day was beautiful so we also went to Vulcan Park to see the huge monument made to celebrate the growth of Birmingham through the steel and cast iron industry. The vista from the one of the highest points in Birmingham made for some great photographs.
Great day. How special it was for Paula and Bonnie to be able to spend a couple of days together. We just may have to do that again.
We are planning on meeting in Louisville at the UMW Assembly.
Two lovely ladies!
