Last week-end we had our Myrtle Creek class of 63=64=65 reunion. It was held at Stanton Park in Canyonville.
It was so great to see some of our old classmates that we haven't seen since the last reunion. Lots of people didn't make it this year so I hope they will make it for the next one. I really enjoyed visiting with friends and getting caught up on everyones lives. Most are retired now and are either just enjoying getting some traveling in or spending more time with the kidds and grandkids.
The weather was great after the heat wave we had the week before so it was nice to sit out in the shade and just relax. We had a wonderful Hawaiian BBQ for lunch with lots of fruit salads and cookies too. Of course I spent a lot of time taking pictures of everyone as well as the class pictures of 63-64-. I was in the 65 one and had someone else take it. i will be getting a remote so that I can set my camera on a tripod next time I am in the photo.
All in all it was a success and I am not sure when the next one is but I plan to keep in touch with a few people that I haven't in the last years. Next year I am going to go to my class reunion in Maine where I still keep in touch with some classmates from there.
I am in Ohio right now at a convention with Jamie. she had classes all day yesterday and then the trade floor opened last night from 5:30 until 9. We were exhausted and just came back to the room and got ready for bed. I didn't even feel like eating so I was glad I brought some chex mix and trail mix with me because that was dinner and then to sleep. I feel pretty good this morning just a bit hungry. I am having a coffee so that always fixes everything LOL.... We have the trade show today tomorrow and Sat. then it is pack-upthat night and we will fly home early on Sunday. I miss my Carter and can't wait to get home and play with him.
I hear Congratulations are in order for Katie and Jason on the arrival of baby Maddie...... I wish I had been there to take photo's of her right away but I will make up for that when I get back. I can't wait to see her. Congratulations Grandma Lourie..... and remember to share even if it is hard LOL.....
Well I better get ready and go eat before we start the day..... Hope everyone has a great week.....
Don't work too hard and enjoy your trip.
