Saturday 19~~~~~ My cousin was not feeling well this morning, So I left her to stay in bed while I went to the retirement home and visited my cousin Jo Gough and my God Child Pam who works there. (pictures) Next I went and visited some good friends, Mary and Bucky Korzan. I stayed with Mary's sister Helen when I attended high school, Mary had lots of pictures of her sister Helen and her children that I babysat for and who I named my Pammy after, we looked at them together and had a great visit. From there I drove around town to my old neighborhood and took some pictures. Next I went to the high schools open house. I ran into my friend Bobby Brooks and his wife Nickie, we had fun talking about playing Cowboys and Indians together with our sticks for guns and arrows. I remember I never got to be an Indian because I had blond curly hair and Sara the neighbor girl wore braids with brown hair and she was always an Indian!! LOL I teased Nickie about her beautiful wicker doll buggy and dolly that she never let me push; she always said NOT NOW!!! I followed her for one whole morning waiting for my turn and after that I never played with her again. LOL After the visit at the school, I went back to see how Carol was feeling and I got ready for the banquet at 6PM Carol was still very sick, so I left her in her girls hands and I went to the dinner. There were 26 in my graduating class with three of them dying at a young age. There were nine of us from our class of 1960 (picture) we all sat together for the dinner. After the dinner they had prizes for the one with the most kids, traveling the farther est and all kinds of crazy things. I won the prize for being married the shortest amount of time; everyone really laughed when I did a big yahoo when I won the $10 gift certificate. I spent it on $2 beers for my girlfriends at the dance at the Legion Club. LOL I really enjoyed seeing all the different people from the different classes that I have known for so many years. I was disappointed to have such a small turn out for our class for it being our 50 years, I really did enjoy those who were there, some of us never ran around together when we were in school, but we sure had fun together at the reunion (picture with Mike and Joyce added to it) and I think we have more in common now than we did in high school. I didn't party to much, without Kent there, I went home about 11:30 wishing Kent was there with me.
