All school reunion

To my loyal followers, I have been absent but hoping to get back in some regular fashion. Because of family sickness it's been a very busy couple of months.

I want to post about a really fun event my sister Deb and I went to in September. Rosedale High School hosted an all class school reunion. Every graduate was invited, my class of 1965 had about 10 show up. Debs class about 20-her class of 1970. There were a couple from 1948 come. All together probably around 200. Our school was for students 7-12 grades.

We had a tour of the high school with current cheer leaders as it is now, WOW after all these years the memories came flooding back in!!!

This picture of me was taken by the nurse's door where I went to after falling off the bucking horse in gym class when I was in 7th grade. Had a compound fracture of the left arm.


It was the exact same tile and door!!!!

My chair in orchestra in the violin section.


Four of us good friends in our class.



Our school sits on a hill called Mt. Marty and this is a World War I Memorial adjacent to the school.

My sis and I posing with our mascot. Now he's been updated for sure.



I caught a few pictures of the all school picture, afraid some people left before it was taken.



The next day we had a big get together at Tanner's Bar and Grill for dinner and drinks.

Me in green. Our school colors were green and white--many of us dressed in the colors.

What an awesome event to see friends from 52 years ago--- when did I get old, I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE LONGER.

Been absent

I've been absent for a few weeks now. My Mom fell and broke her hip, surgery on 7-15-18 and then rehab.  She is now staying with us for a few weeks before heading back to her home.




She worked really hard in extensive rehab before she came to our home.

She has been out a couple of times--here's at McDonald's, she loves the cinnamon treat.

She's doing very well for 91 years old.

Bound

Bound for her second trip of missionary work. Sophie is headed for Guatemala, we have a large team going,  ministering, providing health care needs and building.


Here we are seeing her off at 4:00 a.m.

My daughter and her.

I am so excited to hear about all of the outreach to the people there. The trip is just one week but that can make a great impact to the lives of so many.

Lilac trees

While out geocaching with my sister Deb last week we spotted these beautiful Lilac trees. We followed the coordinates to locate the geocache but it had been removed. In the downtown area of West Plains. Mo there were several of these bright pink lilac trees.

We had to have a selfie along with one of them.

   I love their splendid color!! Even with all the midwest heat they are thriving.

Age

Kicking off the new round with A is for Age.  You know it's just a number and we can really do what ever our bodies will allow us.

I'm thinking of my Mom who is a nonagenarian (90 and above). She is 91 and still gets up everyday and applies all her makeup, gets dressed as sharp as can be and goes as much as she possibly can.



Here she is last week at our annual family reunion telling her nephew just how it is. She was the oldest person there!

Here's all of her girls and her. I'm the one fully standing.

Us girls are all Baby Boomers!

Marvel Cave

Having a wonderful summer and this photo was from an all girls trip last month. We spent a few days in Branson, Missouri and toured Marvel Cave.


We did see a few bats in there but the one simulated on my shoulder is not one of them.

My daughter, granddaughters and I  had a wonderful trip.

Greatest Show

Our church just put on a fabulous VBS and the choir had a major role.


We all dressed in fabulous circus characters!!



Our full group of characters!


Children ages 4-10 attended worship sessions alongside their choice of woodworking, art, karate, cheerleading, dance, softball, soccer or archery.

Here I am with my grand-niece and grand nephews after the last nights performance.

All wearing their VBS shirts.

Our Ringmaster and his wife (choir minister and director)

One of the BEST we have ever presented.
