Place: Allen, TX Comments: Connie and I had a GREAT time at the mini, Saturday. Was great seeing Lucky. And, I was totally thrilled to see Richard Phillips. I have known Richard since we were pre-schoolers. But, I had not seen him since summer 1967, when I ran into him at a convenience store in Lancaster, TX. I certainly hope he will come back again. I have so many fond memories of Richard from long ago, and am so happy he is doing well and showed up for the mini.
Place: Richardson Comments: I had a great time at the mini Sat!!! As always, new classmates show up and we get to reconnect with those we haven't seen in yrs! This time Lucky Brunner & his wife and Richard Phillips came to the party for the 1st time. Vernon Moreland, who we haven't seen in 4-5 yrs, also attended. Sandy McGee added to the fun by having a Roast ?? or Tribute??, depending on your perspective, of Donnie Fugate! It was a Welcome Home & Congrats on Your Retirement Roast! Lots of very funny gag gifts & cards. I looked at my pics this morning & Shortcake's & Mac's last night. We got some great photos!! We even got a grp pic of the SOC people. If you missed it - - You missed a very fun and enjoyable afternoon. Will work on pics so can post in day or so.
Place: Allen, TX Comments: Carol Carpenter, it would be so much more fun if you could be here with us, today! Hope you will try to make the next one! We miss seeing you.
Place: Sachse Comments: Toni, that is one adorable boy at the ballpark. Hudson is growing up and so cute. See you all this afternoon. Should be a lot of fun.
Place: KC, MO (working - YUCK!) Comments: I am thinking of you all today. Have a wonderful mini!!! Love to all - Carol
Place: DeKalb,Tx Comments: Just planted Tomatoes, & cucumbers, which will finished off rest of the planting. Had lots of help from Jack, Luke & Parker. This time of yr is busy with the new Calf's coming on and putting Chicken Litter on the pastures. Hope everyone has a good time Saturday.
Place: Richardson Comments: Hope we get a better response to the Mini than here on the GB. ![[rolleyes]](/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif "Roll Eyes - :rolleyes:") Been rather slow.On the upside, I hung 2 Hummingbird feeders on the patio this morning. I'm so excited, can't wait till dusk to see if they appear! I've seen them hanging around my rose bushes & Azaleas. Also caught and gave "free transport" to the 3rd squirrel in as many weeks. They keep eating the food I put out for my beautiful Redbirds and that's a No No!! When I capture them in the cage I give them a free ride over to the west side of Breckinridge Park where there's lots of trees and a creek. Maybe he'll run into his 2 predecessors who also stole my bird seed!
Place: Richardson Comments: Wonderful rain last night!! We got 3/4 in! Toni - Hudson is so cute in his Rangers' hat! I love seeing how many kids are at the games with their hat & gloves just waiting to catch a foul ball. This past week I saw 2 young boys about 10 or under catch a foul. They were so happy!!! Bet they told everyone at sch about how they caught that ball. Ok guys & gals . .. Don't forget about our Mini Get-Together this Saturday at the Hyatt on Campbell Rd @ Hwy 75. 2 to 6pm. I have the room with lots of couches & chairs reserved just for us and the area right outside of it is also ours! Unfortunately, no one is willing to offer us the great deal we had at the H.I. with the big Mexican Buffet for $10. But, here's a suggestion. Across the street from the hotel is a large group of restaurants! It's across Campbell and it goes way back into the area. It's called Eastside! I'll get a list and post it here for all to review. Perhaps, instead of 20 or more of us trying to travel to a restaurant & get seated together on a Saturday night, maybe we could pair up in groups of 4, 6 or 7 and each grp go where they'd like to eat. There are a plethora of eating places N. & S. on Central! Would make for much faster and better seating! Also, why not pair up with 2 other couples or several singles that you don't usually get a chance to sit by or talk to during events. Sometimes we tend to stay with the same grp of people and never really get to know others. These are just suggestions, gives you something to think about before Sat! Here's the link to our Events pg. http://www.soc1966.com/events.html
Place: Garland Comments: Happy Easter to everyone.  . See you next week at the mini!
Place: Lost in space Comments: Allrighta, Allrighta, Allrighta, Step right up and place your bids! Let's see who the REAL baseball fans are. The BEST Educational Foundation is auctioning off the ceremonial "First Pitch" before the Rangers take on the Rockies on May 8th. This is Garland ISD night at the ballpark. Place your bids at www.besteducationalfoundation.org Let me know if you win. I'll go and cheer you on and see you throw that pitch.
Place: Garland USA Comments: Thanks sandy! Hudson does love baseball and is signed up to play starting in a few weeks! I know what you and Jack are saying about all the new names and players. Really crazy trying to keep up with all the new names! Go Rangers! Everyone have a safe and blessed Easter weekend.
Place: Richardson Comments: It seems that way Jack! Never seen so many new names and difficult ones to pronounce. Try saying Shin-Soo Choo or Arencibia 3 times, heck, I'd settle for getting it correct once! I like our fill-in 3rd baseman, Kouzmanoff. Last 2 nights games were fun to watch especially in the 8th & 9th innings. Let me count the ways Seattle can lose a game . . . !! ![[biggrin]](/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D")
Place: Stevens Park Comments: Who are those guys in Ranger uniforms?? I know the centerfielder, SS, 1st, LF, DH and most of the pitchers. Did that Gm bring up the whole AAA team to play this year??
Place: Richardson Comments: Recvd photo of a cute guy with a Rangers hat on! Check out P&J and be sure to click on the photo. It is a great view of the Ballpark behind the cutie! Thanks Toni!
Place: Coppell Comments: Smiley, I would have posted on GB; however, I am not a tennis fan. |
