50th High School Reunion


Well, my 50th High School Reunion was this weekend.  Man, talk about time flying by!  I didn't go to CA for it.  I thought about it but then the roof, water heater, and furnace needed to be replaced.  I decided I needed not to travel this year.  However, thanks to technology, I was in touch anyway.  You see, we had only 3 grades at Millikan High School in Long Beach.  And 5,000 students attended.  So, one third of those students, I graduated with.  Many I didn't know.  Many I knew didn't go to the reunion, like me.  But, many I did.  Seeing everyones face is comforting.  They are in the same place in life as I am.  And thanks to Facebook we can be in touch.  Another life marker met.

Autumn

Didn't post yesterday but I was going to mention how beautiful this time of year is.  September with summer slipping away and long shadows, October is brilliant with color, and November is subtle and subdued with coziness.  As the wind or rain chases out the last of the leaves, one can see winter coming in.  I am grateful for this time of year and enjoy each moment.

Snow or No Snow?

Wednesday I went to Women's Bible Study and yesterday I went to Young at Heart.  I have been working on organizing my beads, which is a lot. We had snow flurries last night.  Friday should be very cold.  Not knowing how the snow will be, I didn't yet put in a grocery order.

Celebrating Brady

Image
Saturday evening the family met up at Magenta's house.  I met her lovely dog and cat.  Saw Darian, Savanna, Bella, Marcia, Kenny, Colleen, and Magenta.  We spent 2 hours talking.  The kids worked on a puzzle.  I had a birthday gift for Bella. Sunday was Brady's birthday celebration at Round 1 at the mall.  We left the boys there and Debra, Kari, and I went to Claim Jumpers for lunch.  It was sooooo good.  I had a Cobb Salad with chicken and a Diet Coke.  Debra shared Spinach Dip and a plate of roast Brussel Sprouts.  Yum. Debra is quiting her job because Don now will be working a job for $7,000 a week.  Oh my goodness! Riley tried food in the food court from the Hamburger Shack plus others.  He praised and praised the food he ate.  He's such a foodie now.  And cooks well himself. Good day
