Comments: Change of events!!!!!! Looks like Connie and I WILL be able to attend the June get-together. Turns out I was told the wrong date for the event at the store. YIPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!
Comments: Toni, your trip sounds fabulous and fun. Can't wait to see the pictures. Donna, sure hope your injuries heal quickly.
Comments: Toni, your trip sounds great! I'll bet it was beautiful in wine country! Ronney and Connie, we'll miss you if you can't get to the mini, but understand that duty calls.
Comments: Susan, happy belated anniversary! Glad to hear you're better! Also glad to know that JD and Richard represented us in style in AZ! JD, your grandones are so cute. I also read about Donna Riley Pratley's accident on FB. She also posted an xray showing a pin and other related metal work in her leg!! Ouch! Get well soon! Well, SF was wonderful! Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, Golden Gate Bridge, Telegraph Hill, Alcatraz....was able to view a lot of it from atop the Mark Hopkins Hotel from the Top of the Mark Club! I couldn't believe the streets were just as steep as they appear in all the pictures. We visited many wineries in Sonoma and Napa but the wine tasting at the Rubicon Estate Winery (Coppola) was by far the best of the best! We were there early so the wine was more plentiful than later in the day! We also visited the Sterling Wineries via gondola for another wine tasting! So many wineries...so little time! Can't wait to go back!!
Comments: Looking very unlikely that Connie and I will be able to attend the June get-together. Brooks Brothers is having a Friends and Family event that day, and they will most likely want all of us there. I will talk to my manager, though. I hate missing these. So much fun seeing everyone.
Comments: JD, your grandones are precious. Hopefully they will achieve your devilish good looks but Kathy's good sense. Glad to hear that you and Richard didn't have to do hard time following your visit to AZ.
Comments: Just got back from the Police State (AZ)...had a great time however. I don't know how JD finds those greasy burger joints...pool table & all, but the burgers were great and JD bought the beer. Actually, we went to the Phoenician Resort (I made the reservations). What I didn't tell JD (true story) is Obama was there a few weeks ago and I asked for the table he used. So JD's a** was sitting right where Obama had his a** a short time before. Who knows, maybe some of that Barack charm will wear on JD right where it belongs. We did learn that JD has one of the more charming wives on the planet....41 years married and she can still be charming.
Comments: JD - Great pix on P&J! In fact, lots of great ones since I last reviewed - nice genes, gang! 
Comments: Cute new brother duo posted on the Pride & Joy pg. JD - Glad you & Kathy are enjoying AZ. I love AZ, especially Phoenix & Sedona. Sedona... the most beautiful town I've ever been to!! Your two Grandones are so cute!!
Comments: Good grief Donna, were you trying to break the horse or just ride him?? That's a terrible fall. Do hope you'll be able to get around (via crutches) soon. Not bad enough the broken ribs, but the ankle break is serious! Take care & I'll send up some prayers for full recovery! Susan - we got the tile all up except that little bit around the edges of the window in that window box behind the sink. But after 3 days we were worn out! Unfortunately, we can't finish this weekend as Sun is my Gauer family reunion down in Crawford & Sat I need to prepare the food. I promise, just as soon as we get it finished & the grout in it, I'll send you some pics.
Comments: Sandy, take a picture of your backsplash and put it on the GB or FB. I'd love to see it! SS
Comments: I noticed via Facebook that Donna Riley Pratley had a bad horse riding experience yesterday. She (Donna, not the horse) broke 4 ribs, broke her ankle in 3 places and suffered a concussion. A rough day at the ranch.
Comments: Good mrng! Spent all wkend plus yesterday putting up the back splash in our kitchen. OMG, now I know why those dng tile work get paid a lot more to do the "diamond point" pattern rather than the standard square pattern!!  It was hard matching every one of those points & keeping it all level, plus we put in accent pieces. But it looks gorgeous & we love it!! We looked off & on for over a year for just the right tile & accent pieces & finally found what we wanted. Hey, we must be getting mellow in our old age, as we worked side by side for 3 days straight and not one fight or argument!   Oh, I meant to put a link to Raymond Trojacek's obit & forgot. It also brings up another obit, but scroll down to his. It makes us realize how precious friendships are when we lose a classmate or a classmate loses a spouse! http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/dallasmorningnews/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=142184892
Comments: If any of you knew Sandra like I did...please send her a note...when she lost her granddaughter a couple of years ago...I sent a note and she wrote me the most wonderful letter. I worked with her at the stables...she is a great person.
Comments: Well, I know you guys are used to the weather Kathy & I are having in AZ this week...but we're not...and are loving the sun. Had a great time with Mary Ann (spelling- forgive me) and their Daughter & Husband last night. Dinner and drinks were great the conversation was wonderful...but...after Richard went to every table in the place and showed pictures of his grand daughter we got thrown out...they let Kathy, Mary Ann & the kids stay...but Richard & I got thrown out. One lady behind us had a wonderful grand-one sitting with them and she was offended that he told everyone that his grandone was the greatest and their's didn't count...but the real problem is that Richard made the baby cry when he told him that his grand daughter would never date him as he was so ugly...man what an embarrassment...and then everyone in the place got mad because this kid could scream. I was so embarrassed that I wouldn't even walk out with him. When I got outside the valet guys wouldn't even talk with us. Then we went to a local liquor store...he bought some cheap wine...Acadama Red in a screw cap gallon bottle...and I got my Grey Goose...we sat outside and started singing the SOC Fight song...even though we ad-libbed the words. With the beautiful moon shinning off of old chrome dome's head we left the front entrance and sat on the grass until we passed out. But all in all we represented our class with dignity...neither of us relieved ourselves on the lawn next to the entrance of the Fauxkneetion Resort where we were having dinner...we went over to a Mercedes in the marking lot and did it on the guys tires!!!    Great time had by all and would do it again in a heart beat. Love the traditions of all SOC graduates. |
