The Class of '55 - Mini Reunion - August 2011

Where did the summer of 2011 go and why did it come so late.....  Regardless, let me tell you that it has been soooo busy.

Our Mini Reunion was held August 9th, 10th, 11th.  Who has more fun than we do???  I can't think of anyone.

Some of us arrived early to help set up.  Quite a few, in fact, were early (we can't stay away) and so the evening of the 8th, we met at Don's for dinner and afterwards a few of us rambled across the street to the Soap Lake Businessmen's Club (of which I am a Life Member - no expiration date (story behind that, too) - (does that mean I will live forever???).  So the fun continued.  Many of us stayed at Marina's so it was just a hop, skip and jump to our individual cabins - OK OK - we didn't hop, we didn't jump and we definitely DID NOT SKIP, but in our mind and memory we did.

Tuesday we met and enjoyed dinner at the TaQuila (sp?) restaurant and visited until late. OK - a few of us found our way back to the Businessmen's Club.  Where were you - should come, too.  Great visiting there, too, after all other things come to a close.

Sometimes Tigers (and Tiger mates) catch and fix food for their littermates.




Wednesday we met at noon at Jerry and Bev's.  They are so gracious to allow us to take over their back yard and their home.  Thanks to Bev's wonderful food preparation and Harris Brooks' wonderful fresh veggies and fruit, we were well taken care of.



Then, sadly, as usual, Thursday we again had breakfast at Wanda's Cafe.  How they manage to serve all of us so quickly is beyond me.  Great food and then the sad task of saying goodbye for another year.

When I find the card that has my pictures on it, I will add them, too.

See you next year, Same Place although it will probably be in September.
