After a cloudy day yesterday, the Sun is now shining and I have two outdoor activities for the afternoon. First the second part of the class reunion is a picnic at a classmates home in Nord East!! and the second is a 70th birthday celebration for Mike Burrington a neighbor across the street.
Yesterday was a long day, but I loved every minute of it. Rita picked me up and drove me to my neice Carrie's house to pick up her mom, Carol. So even the ride downtown was enjoyable visting all the way. (I know you can't believe I talked that much.)
When we got there, we were the first ones to be there other than the organizers, and because we were early we got to park right in front of the door with my handicap sticker. (So there Jimbo) But in leaving all the handicap places were full of SMA grads.
The building (The Women's Club) was gorgeous and reminded me of the old mansion we started school in back in 1958, before they built the new school in 1960 that we actually graduated from. The intersection of 94 and 394 is what replaced the old school. The food was excellent and although I wasn't drinking, it looked like they were good too! So all that set the scene for some great conversations and memories of days gone by. Much laughter, and also applause for great accomplishments of many great women, and the great education and experience we got at St. Margarets Academy. We ended by singing the school song, and lots of tears. The only good part about leaving, was that a lot of us will gather again this afternoon to continue to recall memories and new connections of some friends we haven't seen in 50 years.
I was going to end, but almost forgot to add a request for prayers, for some of the classmates also ill, (Judy Dechaine who suffered a stroke this past Spring) including the husband of Kathy Kelly, Ed....who also is now in the battle with cancer. So please pray for them and me!! Love and Prayers, m
