MEMORIES>>>>>>

If anyone has a copy of Manor Memories, would you please email it to me?

If not, how about making a new one with the memories that are stuck in your head.  Shoot those to me too and if we get enough of them, we'll compile a list.

If you have any memorabilia you'd like to bring to the reunion, please do so.  We'll have a table where it can be displayed.

Finally, this is just a suggestion since I'm going to be asking you to send pictures to Larry and I after the reunion.  Please keep in mind most people won't know who the person in the picture is.  Long shots are nice but I made large name tags so if you take pictures close enough to include their identity, it'll mean much more to the reader.

Down to the Wire!

Okie dokie classmates.  We're down to the wire.  If you've been procrastinating about sending in your money for the reunion, now is the time to do it.  We're in the final stage of the shindig and I'll be making tickets for the food choices and name tags next weekend.

So if you want to come, you're welcome but have to get off your tushie and shoot me your money, guest name and dinner choice......now.

If you have any questions send them to marinahigh71@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Linda Bueno....

I saw Linda Bueno this past weekend.  Even though my sister is married to her brother, I see her once in a blue moon.  I couldn't even guess what year I last saw her.  Unfortunately, she won't be able to make the reunion because she'll be having surgery about that time.

It was wonderful seeing her.  She hasn't changed much over the years.  If you passed her on the street, you'd immediately recognize her.  Some people are like that.  As for me, I look in the mirror and my mom and dad are staring back at me.  At times it can be disconcerting.  I guess because I can't turn back the clock, I'd better get used to looking at that old geezer in the mirror.  LOL!

I sometimes screw with my husband by pulling the skin on my face back and saying, "See....look how much younger I am!"  He just shakes his head and says, "If you got surgery, I wouldn't recognize you.  I love you the way you are."   That's either a sign of still loving me after 42 years or proof he really does need his eyes checked again. 

I figure when the reunion comes, my lack of height will be a plus for me.  Because I'm on the short side, I have to look up to a lot of people when I talk to them.  That's a plus because it puts the light more even on my face highlighting the wrinkles less.  When I talk to Grant K. he's so darn tall, I probably look like a young girl again.  If I don't, he's kind enough to let me believe that.  Thanks Grant!
