Knowing that you appreciated the details, Laura, makes every bit of it worthwhile for your committee. I am so glad that you had a great evening. It was absolutely wonderful to see you and everyone else again! The night just flew by. Let's make sure that we share the details of our lives on the blog going forward. No event is too insignificant, i.e. kid & grandkid birthdays, vacations, backyard bbq's, float trips, trips to the zoo, zoological digs, digging for worms, etc. We want pictures of the Naylor's new grandbaby in October, be it another boy or the first girl. Everyone, keep in touch!!!
Amen and amen.
My husband and I had a wonderful time. A very elaborate party with all the trimmings. Good friends and good food. As I look at some of the pictures I see classmates that I didn't get to that evening. Wish I could have hugged them all. The committee did an outstanding job. Thank you to all.
Patty
thanks, laura. actually steve q and i did everything ourselves while the women sat around and drank beer.
that will be the scenario next time, steve
What NEXT time???
I'm still receiving blood transfusions from THIS time!
That's not true, I don't drink beer. ;)
Patty you are right...As I look at the group photo I see people in the picture that I didn't see at the reunion. I'm thinking how did I miss them?
Laura,
I missed you at the reunion. Sorry, but this is exactly my thoughts too. Bob and I really enjoyed the reunion and our hats go off to the all the planners. What alot of work. All the details, very nice. Have you all caught up yet on your rest? Again. Thanks for a wonderful night. Ny the way, Ann Ferguson-O'Kelley and her husband will be married 30years this month and they are taking trip to Hawaii, to celebrate. Congradulations Keith and Ann.
Absolutely. Congratulations Keith and Ann!
Have a great time!
Thanks for all the nice compliments.
and Steve, it was white/black russians, and margaritas.And they must have been really really strong.I'm experiencing memory loss.
Did anyone get a picture of the hula hoop dance?
Yes, Linda I have some. I'll be sending you some pictures soon.
I asolutely agree with everyone that the weekend was fantastic! I think we could have gone on for four days and still not have managed to talk to and hug everyone. There were so many I missed! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who had a hand in the planning and hard work. Hats off to you!
Hey gang!
From the pics it looks like a lot of work went into making the reunion a success. Even though I wasn't there physically, I was there in spirit. So those spooky artifacts on some of those phots could have been me and Cookieman and all the others who were there in spirit. I agree with Gwennie that we should all keep in touch and keep blogging.
