The years seem to melt away

Standard

I’m not talking about a new kind of vanishing cream-though, wouldn’t that be nice? ; )
What I’m referring to is spending time the other night with some former classmates from my high school! One lady was in my kindergarten class-45 yrs ago! Face*book has helped me and other classmates find each other! I started a group at FB just for my class, and I believe there are close to 70 of us in it!
Anyway, this past Friday night, Brian and I got together at a beachy like place and sat and chatted with 10 nice people, 7 former classmates and two of their spouses and a member of the class under us. Our pal Ron was back in town for his son’s graduation and asked ‘yours truly’ to post an event and round up some of the group. Ron has moved to Arizona-twice-the second time this April. I can tell you he had a great time! I ordered a Cosmopolitan-it was a bit heavy on the Vodka, so I asked Bri to have them put a splash more cranberry juice in it which helped.(I hardly ever drink). I was really happy to see Meg (I was suppose to go to her house a few weeks ago) and her three pals arrive. Ron said really nice things about me and calls me ‘The Queen of Face*book’. He mentioned my photos and gardening too. : )

Thanks to Ron, Meg H-M, Scott, Linda, John, Darcy, Meg B-M, Janet, Karen and Barb for a nice evening.

The garden is all planted-about 2-3 weeks late. We plant a lot of tomatoes to mainly share with the family. Over the last few years, our garden hasn’t been producing, so we added a few layers of new top soil. Crossing fingers for a bumper crop.
Sean and I are watching ‘Twilight’. We have another hour to go. I think it’s definitely for the younger crowd.
We are having our septic tank drained tomorrow-country living folks! It hasn’t been done for about 4 years which is a long time!
Sean said he will help me plant zinnia and cosmos tomorrow. I am having some back and tummy issues, so I’m glad he can do the bending. I think I’m overdoing it!
Sean’s graduation announcements went out today with their personalized stamps-even the lady at the post office was impressed! And Zoey, your DH should expect a package in a few days-finally. I put a little something in there too.

  1. What fun to meet your old classmates.

    I love cosmos. They are pretty strong. One of them is enough if you don’t eat anything. Two is about all I can take for one evening.

    I am not going to tell DH that you sent the box. He will be surprised when it arrives as he has probably forgotten when I told him about it last month. I will email you when it arrives.

  2. What fun catching up with school friends. I am not to sure of many I want to catch up with myself! LOL Your garden looks FANTASTIC-I have been looking back over you recent photo’s.

  3. I can well imagine the fun you all had catching up on all your news:-) I think it’s awesome that you’ve been finding so many classmates on Facebook and able to get together with some of them. I’m still in touch with a few of mine, those that I want to be! lol xoxo
