Comments: As you can see - I am in Cypress Springs - not Colorado!!!!
Comments: SNL, thanks for giving Jack Sanders my telephone numbers. He called me last night and we chatted for about 20 minutes or so. We discussed his accident and I even taught him a way to tell if he had already taken his meds! He was really appreciative! He did seem in good spirts and did thank me for the card! He's even figured out a new way to find his way back home - it involves a large ball of twine - ha!ha! Thank goodness he has two daughters to look after him. Karen, I'm counting the hours until my phone rings with our tee time!!
Comments: Just got off pho w/Jack Sanders. It's bn 5 wks tda since the cement truck ran the red light and smashed into him in his jeep!! He's still gng to PT 3 times a wk, but thinks next wk might be his last wk. He is having memory problems but hasn't lost his sense of humor. I said I wouldn't keep him on the pho too long & he said if I did he would probably tell me the same story 3 or 4 times!! He was cleared to drive but said he goes to get something to eat and can't remember how to get home! He is frustrated & now realizes this will be a long slow road to recovery. In addition to all the existing problems, he's now learned he will have to have lots of dental work done as the impact jarred loose some of his teeth! He will have to have several dental implants! Keep him in your prayers as he has a long way to go!! BTW he really appreciates the cards ya'll sent. He started telling me about them. Ya'll have a good weekend. I'm headed to the kitchen as I can hear Johnny Walker calling. Time to relax!!
Comments: A super duper Happy Birthday wish to a super wonderful lady, the lovely and lovable Karen MD! So very happy I was able to check out of the Hotel California!
Comments: Here's the ending to the mystery of a SOC classmate who recently passed away & none of the classes seemed to know him. Jackie Thomas Jr. was born in Sept 1949 & graduated in '67 from SOC. He was drafted into the Army in '68. Unfortunately he was exposed to Agent Orange while in Vietnam & died a few days ago due to the many complications brought on by A. O. He was only 61. May he Rest in Peace.
Comments: Richard, I can assure you I'm still working! But sure seems like more & more of the girls are retiring!!
Comments: Happy Birthday, KMD. Hope your day is GREAT!  
Comments: Happy BD to KMD and happy retirement as well. So, who among the 66er's have managed to retire? (not me), and I know JD has his scheduled for Feb. and Bovie's kickin' back. I expect to schedule mine for March...I just don't know which year. Oh yeah, and the honorary 66er, Southworth.
Comments: OK Jack, stop trying to be a trouble maker!  I already admitted I was off by a wk on KMD's retirement date!! For the record, her retirement date is the same day as my Jury Summons date - 8-2!  I'll switch with you Karen!!  Jack I think we can work something out for Mike Dunn! If he will let me or you know a few days in advance when he's coming in we could have an impromptu gathering on a Sat or Sun at the hotel bar for about 2 hrs & then head over to El Fenix for an early dinner. We know at El Fenix the food is always , quick, hot & delicious & they don't seem to mind the loud SOC grp or giving us individual tickets. I would love t see him in person!
Comments: Had a nice dinner and visit with Mike Dunn last night. Had a great time reminiscing and catching up. He's made arrangements to care for his Mom and is going back Sunday morning. Mike said he will be back in two or three weeks and would like to see everybody, especially if it could be done over a good Tex-Mex meal. Karen MD, I don't what you are doing going to WORK. SNL SAID you are retired. Go back home and if they say anything, refer them to SNL!!! Toni, your peach maybe in Colorado. Robert, you lurking out there?? I guess almost everybody has become a lurker.
Comments: Toni, your week with the grandones sounds like a great time (although exhausting). Yes I am definitely ready to get back on the links. Let me know when you're ready. Mike is off today and playing golf with a friend while I go to work. Not fair, but I am counting the days until I am liberated. 
Comments: Happy Birthdays, Karen MD and Karen RL!
Comments: Jack....I'm still recuperating from my week-long extravaganza with my grandsons! Karen Davis, hope you have a wonderful birthday! I remember you saying that when you retired, we would hit the golf trails....well what gives? BTW...Jack, thanks for the invitation from Oak Ridge CC! That would be an excellent plan but for the scorching days we are having! Bruce is still actually considering it! Shortcake, are you still carrying around the East Texas peaches for me? Did you forget or what?
Comments: Sorry KMD, I jumped ahead of myself! Well... Congrats on your last work day this year as 8-1!!!! Now you & Mike can finally go to all the Cowboys games TOGETHER!!
Comments: Thanks all for the sweet birthday wishes here on the GB and the many on Facebook as well. I haven't retired just yet but it is only days away! Last day to work is Sunday, Aug. 1st and then I will finally have weekends off for the first time in years. Hallelujah! And as soon as I retire, I promise to finally actually put something on my Facebook page and get caught up with responses, etc. I will work part time next year but I am taking the rest of this year OFF. Both Mike and I have to work today but he did have flowers, card, coffee and biscotti waiting for me when I got up and we are going out tomorrow night and then another celebration with my daughter (whose birthday is today also) and her family on Saturday night. I sound like Shortcake who celebrates her birthday for a long time after the actual day. It's so good to hear that Mike Dunn and Don L's brother Doug are progressing and improving. Hope both will continue on this path.

Don't leave for Colorado until August. I ate your peaches Toni - it was either that or watch them go bad.......and they were really good.....I used some of them to make peach cobbler - it was good also! | < Previous 15 | Next 15 > |
