Jack and James, hang in there until April 8th, 2024.  Dallas will experience a total solar eclipse then.  That will be a Monday - maybe we can schedule our 2014 Spring get-together for that day.  I'm trusting that ALL of us will be retired by then and can do anything we want on whatever day of the week we want!

Sandy - sounds like a fun trip!  I trust that you let Gordy open car doors for you.  [smile]  Congratulations to Larry and Martha - 50 years together - what a journey to celebrate!

I'm going to a dinner theater show tomorrow night.  The play is a musical - "Million Dollar Quartet" - based on "an impromptu jam session involving Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash on December 4, 1956, at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee".  Should be great music.

Thursday we start a Weight Watchers program here in our office.  Gotta get ready to snag my John-Denver-lovin' millionaire in Aspen in a couple of months!  [biggrin]

Love you all - Carol

Sandy,
It was great to see all of you. When you, me, Martha, Mike, Charlotte, and Gordon get together in a Mexican Restaurant crazy things happen. Thanks to all of you for making the week-end celebration so much better. I appreciate you coming to celebrate with us.  A shout out to Toni, also. Thank you for 
your good wishes. You were there when LarryandMartha began.

Love all of y'all.

I had a wonderful weekend!!  Picked up Gordy at 9an Saturday and we headed to Athens, where we picked up Mike & Charlotte Moree.  Then we headed south to Houston, actually a little past Houston to Webster.  Checked into the Oxford Inn & changed for a party!  Our dear friends, Larry & Martha Lewis, were celebrating 50 yrs of marriage!  Wow, what an accomplishment!  Larry was Cl '65 at SOC & Martha was '65 Kimball.

The next morning we went to Larry & Martha's home for breakfast and then headed back to Dallas via a stop in Athens.  If you've never been on a road trip (more than 315 ea way) with Gordy, Charlotte & Mike . . .  well, you don't know what you're missing!!  [biggrin]  We laughed & talked the whole way.  Got back late Sunday and had to rest up yesterday.  Been a long time since I've driven about 650 miles round trip in 2-days, but wouldn't have missed this for anything!!

Would love to join you Carol. But looks like I may have to view it from the lawn at the Panola County Courthouse.

Sounds like a great plan, Carol. Wish we could join you, but the anchor chain isn't that long. You be careful and enjoy the view!

It's awfully quiet around here - hope that everyone is well.

Is anyone planning to travel to the path of the upcoming eclipse?  St. Joseph, MO (just a little NW of KC) is directly in the center of the path, but it's going to be too crowded for me.  I'm planning to be on a country road a little SE of there, listening to John Denver's "The Wings That Fly Us Home" during the 2 minutes and 39 seconds that the total eclipse lasts.  "...And the Spirit fills the darkness of the Heavens..."  Gives me chills!

Have a great weekend.  Love to all - Carol

Oh Sammy, I'm so sorry for Curtis Starne's and his family (cl of '67).  Loosing a child is so difficult.
Prayers for Curtis & his family.

Wonderful hear from you Sandy Shellito!  I have so many wonderful memories of you.  How great you live in Amish country.  When we had our business we had a project in Bucks County Pennsylvania.  The people were so wonderful.  Hope to see you one day soon.

"Hi" to all.  Hope that everyone is well and staying cool.

We had some damaging storms over the weekend.  My brother Bobby lost a large portion of a big tree - it landed on a chain-link fence instead of on his house, thankfully.  A big tree catty-cornered across the street from me was sheared off level to the ground - but no damage to the apartment building or to cars.

Has anyone heard news about Smokey Kimbrough lately?  For some reason his name popped into my head earlier this afternoon.

Love to all - Carol

A big hello to Sandy Shellito!!  Last time we saw you was at our 40th.  Hope you are doing well and please drop by more often!

Sammy - in all honesty, I can't remember every burning up a meal.  I've cooked a pie crust a little too brown before I learned about a foil tent, I've cooked some hash browns pretty crispy while talking on the phone and I've over-cooked some chicken breast on the grill but not burned.  Can I say that all my dishes come out perfect every time . . .  No Way in Heck!  I've cooked many a dish, usually a new recipe, and it was a disaster!  [eek]  A few times I've said, "Let's just throw it out!"  Heck, I've even mis-measured an item in a recipe before and boy did that screw it up!!  I thought it said 2/3 cup of oil and it said 1/3 cup.  Should of had my glasses on!!

What a great website you have created Sandy.

I look in every once in a while.  So many sad things that happen in lives of our classmates and their families.

Then the funny silly posts are fantastic.

So much work you have put into this and it is great to see what is going on periodically.  If I lived down there I would love to go to the minis and reunions.

God bless you!
Sandy
