A Trip to Kimberling City

Barbie and Betty recently visited Sue at her home in Kimberling City, Mo.  Sounds like they had a great time shopping, visiting and enjoying the great view from Sue's deck (while sipping wine!) 

Thanks for sharing your photos on the blog!

Buddy told us he was getting married......and he did!  Here's their wedding photo!

Congratulations!

Keeping In Touch

My goodness, do you realize that it's been  almost 6 weeks since we gathered in Henryetta for our 50th class reunion?  What have YOU been up to since then?  I thought it would be fun to post some "updates" and/or "what's going on" since our reunion.  So I'll start out with some photos taken over the 4th of July weekend when Tom and Charlie and I took a little trip to the Sierras.  I would love to post what YOU'VE been up to - just send me some photos and let me know what's going on in your life, and I'll get it on the blog.

We saw lots of beautiful mountain scenery on our trip.......snow covered mountains, sparkling blue lakes,

we even had a snow-ball fight at the top of.......

Sonora Pass!

We enjoyed the many wildflowers that were blooming along the way,

And watched a 4th of July Parade in the restored gold-mining town of Columbia, California!

Hope your 4th was great!

Now it's your turn.  Send me an update on your summer activities!  With lots of photos!  Let's keep in touch!

Dear Classmates

Most of the photos that I have received have been posted.  There are a few more which I will post soon, but I will happily post any more photos that are sent to me. 

I just have one little request.  I am really getting tired of seeing "0 COMMENTS" , so, after you finish checking out the postings, please leave me a comment or two - it would be in a way like we're continuing visiting at the reunion!  And,....it's so easy to do.  Just look at the bottom of each entry.  You will see the word "comment". 

Click on it and it will take you to a white box, where you can type your comment. 

Then choose "Select Profile".  The easiest is to choose "Anonymous".  (If you choose anonymous, I would appreciate it if you would sign your name in the comment box, or otherwise I won't know who left the comment!) 

Then click "Post Comment".  Sometimes another box pops up with a nonsense word for you to type in a small box.  Sometimes not.  Anyway, that's all there is to it. 

And your comment will show up under the post (when I click on "comments".)  Wasn't that easy!  And it will make me so very happy to hear from you!  You do want me to be happy, don't you?  I thought so!

Here's a little tip.  You can right click on a photo and save it to your computer.  Nifty, huh?  So if you see a photo or two that you would like to keep, save it to your computer and it's yours!  A present from me and Mr. Blogger.  Another handy tip....if you left click on a photo, it will usually enlarge. 

Hope to hear from ya'll via the "comments" on the blog! 

And yet another tip:  Blogs are really easy and fun to do!  Go to http://www.blogger.com/ and follow the easy set up directions!  It's a great way to share photos with others.

It was sure fun seeing everyone!  Ciao!

Saturday at the Reunion

Saturday afternoon we gathered at the high school to socialize and view memorabilia displayed around the room. 

Saturday evening we enjoyed a buffet dinner at the Henryetta High School Cafeteria.  Now if this brings to mind school cafeteria meals of soggy mashed potatoes, jello and "mystery" meat served by grumpy ladies in hairnets, stop right there!  This catered meal featured roast pork loin in cherry sauce, sauted vegetables, fresh green beans, choice of potatoes, crisp green salad, hot loaves of home-made bread, and delicious fruit cobbler with ice cream.  And our servers were the Henryetta High School cheerleaders!  Not a hairnet in sight!  We continued to visit, view the memorabilia displayed, watch the class DVD and pose for our group photo!

Friday Night Informal Indoor Picnic

On Friday Night we headed to the Senior Center for a casual dinner of hamburgers and hotdogs, and more visiting!

We must be in the wrong place....we're not Senior Citizens!
