Cathy

While relaxing in my Starbucks on Northland Avenue in Appleton, Wisconsin tonight I met a lady. Her name was Cathy. So sweet. So Funny. I talked to her for over an hour. She slowly held her right hand up and spelled out with the sign language alphabet her name. Cathy is deaf.

I learned sign language in high school with my best friend Kim. I just can't believe how much I remembered. It came back to me like I was riding a bike.

WE LAUGHED SO HARD MY BELLY HURTS! At one point my hands were moving SO fast she put her hand on my knee and smiled then signed - Maybe you should slow down on the coffee my dear. And that made me LAUGH even more! HAHAHAHA! I have a new friend. her name is Cathy and we are meeting for coffee next week again.
