Dear
Classmates,
While
it may seem like just a moment ago, it has been quite a number of years since
we took that fateful walk to the podium to receive our diplomas. It's hard to lie about your age once you've
told someone it's your 40th high school reunion. Since graduation, we have done
a lot of living. Raised 2 amazing kids; Paige, 36 (Kevin), lives in Gillette,
Wy. Ri, 35 (Cassie), lives in Commerce City, Co. We now have 6 grandchildren,
Kayla and Taneil twins-22, (I know you are all trying to figure that out).
Sydni-8, Jax-6, Brexley-4 and Rowan-1 in Oct. We also have a great-grandson,
Layton-2.
Tom
and I have spent the last 26 years in the Dairy Queen business. Bought the
Alliance DQ in 1990. After 12 long years, we sold that store, (2002). Packed up
and headed west. Settled in Arizona. Bought the Prescott Valley store
and 3 years later bought the Camp Verde store. To date, sold Prescott
Valley 9 years ago and still own Camp Verde.
Sorry
to say, I won't be attending the reunion. I was just in Alliance a few weeks
ago. So very grateful to visit with a few of you. XOXOXO
Class Reunion
It
was my class reunion, and all through the house,
I
checked in each mirror and begged my poor spouse.
To
say I looked great, and that my chin wasn't doubled,
So
he lied through his teeth, to stay out of trouble.
Said
that beneath my reading glasses, my eyes hadn't changed,
And
that I had the same figure, it was just rearranged.
He
said my skin was still silky, not so much like smooth satin, but more like silk
crepe.
I
swallowed his words hook, sinker and line,
And
entered the banquet, feeling just fine.
Somehow,
I expected my classmates to stay,
As
young as they were on that long ago day.
We
hugged lots of hugs. But like me, through the years,
They
added grey to their hair or pounds to their rears.
But
as we shared a few memories and retold some class jokes,
We
were eighteen in spirit, though we looked like our folks.
We
turned up hearing aid volumes and dimmed down the lights,
Rolled
back the years, and we were young for the night . . . .
