Lemoore High School Class of 1975 Class Reunion

The following posts about my class reunion are a bit disjointed, but you'll get it after you look at all of them. Last weekend was my high school class 35th reunion and I was on the committee with two other core individuals who were dedicated to making this event a wonderful reality. For two years (actually longer) I have searched and searched to find our classmates - I wanted to give as many classmates as possible the chance to come celebrate and reminisce with friends. The reunion took a lot of planning but my friends Mike and Diane made it a lot of fun - I will miss our emails, phone calls and meetings - such joy, such fun, so rewarding.
The picture above includes a few of my elementary school classmates that I also graduated with from high school - a couple of them I went kindergarten through high school. We only had a graduating class of about 40, so that's a pretty good turnout.


The barn is incredible!!! What you can't see is the airplane propeller on the other side of the building that is run by a giant pulley to act as a fan to cool the barn. The setting among the oak trees was stunning, the pond with a bridge was cooling, the Red Rock Saloon is so nostalgic, the jail - well, it's a jail, and the greenest grass I've ever seen...an amazing place...thanks, Mike, for working your connections to get us such a terrific place to hold our reunion...

To those who helped with making this reunion 'come to life' - thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work. To the classmates who attended, thanks for coming and thanks for being a part of my life...

Class Reunion

The time has FINALLY arrived...

EVERYTHING is ready for the reunion. Favors are made, the centerpieces are ready to be placed on the tables and fluffed, banner ready to be hung to greet the guests, huge purple and gold decorations ready to be swaying in the breeze hanging from majestic oak trees - all we need are some TIGERS ready to celebrate!!!

I received an email late last night that a classmate found a slide presentation that we thought had been lost for about 30 years. Now, the hunt begins for a slide projector - my nephew asked 'what's a slide projector?' I told him it was next to the rotary phone...

Time to pack my car and head to my hometown for a weekend full of exciting activities and seeing some people I haven't seen in 35 years!!! Look out Lemoore, the Class of 1975 is coming to town!

Pictures next week of all of the decorations and activities.

Have a groovy weekend,

Party Central!

It's Almost Reunion Time!

My tiny home looks like a purple and gold explosion! Pictures soon of the fun things I'm making for our reunion and of the fashion show this week! I HAVE to get a writing job done first before I can play with more party projects. And, I got a panic call last night that we need to order porta-potties and that we have three less round tables than we thought - phone calls today to take care of a few last-minute glitches.

And, my nephew from the DC area is here and I get to have a belated birthday lunch (or ice cream) with my sister and two nephews today. And, photography field trip tonight and to help my friend download the fashion show pictures...busy day, busy week to come...Ahhhhh, such fabulous fun!

I'd better get to that writing job...make it a fantastic day, whatever you do!
