Thank you for starting us off, Laura!
I had a good time at the SVM reunion - luckily they gave us a photo of all the students from 1987 and the also provided name tags, so it was easier to realize who you were talking to. Other than one person that was there, have I maintained contact with my classmates - I do stay in touch with one other that wasn’t at the reunion. Other than the ceremony, I spent time walking around the area - hit a favorite park called Picnic Point, walked around areas I used to live, and did some shopping - picked up a nice ceramic bowl with my favorite colors yesterday. It was a rainy day, so glad I had an umbrella.
Today I’ll be driving towards Milwaukee - I’ll stop and have lunch with my brother. The girl I’m staying with in Milwaukee is one of my computer game buddies - she lives a few blocks from my old house there. I’m looking forward to seeing it again - haven’t seen it in over ten years. We’ll be grilling tonight and catching up in person, a game of Spades in person tomorrow!
Welcome back, Laura! Sorry to hear of DH’s bloody cough - sounds serious. Hope you get back to your own pace of doing things this week!
Vantreesta, sorry I don’t know enough about podiatry to know if your condition needs surgery or not, but definitely get a second opinion. I remember having other people walk Gus when I was recovering from knee and hip replacement - he did OK with that if he didn’t see me anywhere on the path.
Paula, Hopefully you renewed your passport well ahead of the due date - here, last time I checked, passports were about three months delayed in getting renewed. I didn’t mind my passport picture looking bad - I looked like I had just woken up after sleeping in an airport, so the picture would match what the officials would likely see
. I was surprised by how many classmates looked like they used to look, I just had problems remembering names.
Waves to all!
Anita
