an interesting week...

on wednesday (our national holiday) i had lunch with some gals that i went to high school with and haven't seen in let's see, some 43 years! there was a school re-union, i believe it was about 10 years after we all left high school, but i didn't go, and then there was a class of '66 (our graduating year) re-union when we were all turning 50, but i didn't go to that one either. so this year we are all turning 60 and i finally caved and went and am very happy that i did. we had a great time reminiscing and telling some funny secrets of our years at john xxiii and asking what ever happened to so and so and where is he or she now and what are they doing? i was a little nervous about going because they were not the girls that i was most chummy with, because they were in the other class, but you would have thought so if you saw my welcome. it was as though we have been friends for all these years. and for 60 years old, we are like fine wine, we all aged pretty darned good, even though i do say so myself!!! i plan to do a layout about it, so hopefully they all won't mind if i post it and you can see for yourselves.

when i got home laura, don and justin were here for a swim so that was a nice home coming!

yesterday justin was here and we spent the day in the pool just to stay cool and tonight i get to see elki & zoe because it's lisa's birthday, so dom is taking her to a birthday dinner while i babysit.

what could be better than that, to see all my family this week and some really old friends too!

How cool that you went to a class reunion all these years later! I love that. We had one at the 10 year mark (I helped organize it!), but no one stepped up for the 20-year reunion. Twenty-five is in three years... maybe that'll be our next one. I would love to go if there is one... my mom and dad still live in my hometown, so we get back on a regular basis, but I hardly see anyone other than family... except for folks I run into at the grocery store. lol
