Class Reunion

Well, we just got back from a world-wind tour of Wyoming, at least it felt like a world-wind. It was my 20th class reunion. I've posted pictures and descriptions of the events on our class website. Click here if you're interested in seeing what our class did. The links on the left side of the page will take you to the reunion activities. It was great to see friends I haven't seen in years. And I'm thinking of nominating J to be an honorary class member as he was willing to participate in all the activities and helped in all aspects! What a sweetheart!


It's about a 16-hour trip to home. M traveled extremely well. We made the trip in one day, leaving at 4:30 in the morning and arriving at mom and dad's around 8:30 that evening. M didn't miss a beat, went right to bed and was up at her regular time of 7 a.m. ready and willing to be spoiled by the grandparents. And spoil they did . . .


My sister-in-law kept us on a tight schedule with fun stuff planned all week, but it was hard to get it all in with the reunion going on as well. We made it to the lake one day where J did a superb job of navigating the boat while J, K, and D tried their hand (or feet) at wakeboarding. Because of the late spring, the lake thawed at a slower rate this year, which basically means it was darn cold. J, K, and D tried to tell us that it wasn't cold after the first five minutes, but that's only because your body is numb after the first 3 minutes! Needless to say, the two of us from CA stayed in the boat. I've never seen goosebumps that big - and I grew up in Wyoming!


And mom and dad had stuff planned as well. J found himself moving cows three days in a row. I'm not sure that's what he thought he would be doing on his vacation, but he did say he enjoyed seeing the country. It is beautiful this time of year and with the wet spring, the country is as lush and green as ever.
