Last night we went to DH's class reunion. This was #48 ... I've noticed they seem to have them at odd intervals. Anyway, this one was held at the home of one of the classmates, a very lovely and gracious hostess. It was held outside, and the weather couldn't have been any more perfect. In the back of the house there's a large cemented driveway (what was originally the garage faces the back of the house instead of the street, so there's room to turn around). Beyond the cement is a large grassy lawn, surrounded by woods, and with a lot of mature trees plus areas of well-manicured gardens spaced around the yard. There's also a very large covered porch. Everything was so beautiful, it looked like a place from a TV show or a high-end magazine! Tiki torches surrounded the area (I suspect they may have been citronella, but not strong smelling ... sure weren't very many bugs!). There were candles everywhere, and as it grew darker they got prettier. There were tables and chairs set up on the driveway, as well as various patio tables and chairs set up on the lawn. In addition to the gardens, there were beautiful potted plants everywhere. Each of the tables had a potted yellow mum, which were later given as door prizes (sadly, Jimmy didn't win one). The food was wonderful, a combination of a local caterer, family members of the hostess, and several of the classmates. Quite a few recipes were requested! After the meal, a few very talented classmates sang a number of "oldie" songs for the group. When it got late, people started to be ready to leave, they had a spell of "I remember" type things. A lady would ask what someone would remember about a specific teacher, for example, and various stories were shared. Most of them were extremely funny, a few were quite touching. As the group broke up, a lot of left over food was sent home with people (and yes, a plate of ham slices and barbeque chicken found it's way home with us! LOL!).
It was just a lovely party all the way around, and we both enjoyed it very much.
I wonder if I will bother to go to my class reunion (45th) next month? Mine tend to be a lot more expensive; plus, I was in a huge class and I'm not really still in touch with any of them.
We'll see how that goes.

Good Morning! Sunday September 6, 2009
Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. At the moment, it's lovely and cool, a touch overcast. The forecast is for mostly sunny, mid 80s. There's a possibility of rain tomorrow, but today is supposed to be another perfect fall day. All week long the prediction in for low to mid 80s ... hope the 90s are gone for the year (though that's doubtful).
Yesterday turned out quite nice. I finally got outside and started on the porch. It did get a bit frustrating, so much junk and some of it heavy. But, I worked on it; and in the afternoon my dear little friend came over to help. We got a huge amount .... nearly all of the "visible" half of the porch cleaned. That included getting rid of 5 wasp nests!!! Today the biggest part of finishing will be figuring out what to do with some of the left over stuff. We had a good excuse to stop by mid-afternoon, which was great since we were tired! LOL!
Jimmy and I went to his class reunion. I think they said it was #48, they're working on "big" plans for the 50th. I didn't know anyone there (have only "met" them whenever the last reunion was - they seem to pick irregular intervals). But, I had a great time anyway, and I believe Jimmy actually enjoyed himself as well.
Today, hopefully I can finish the porch, maybe even start on the other side (unless there turn out to be a bunch more wasp nests!!!); get more laundry done; and I hope to get to sewing.
Today is "Unification Day (Bulgaria)" ... "Defense of Pakistan Day (Pakistan)" ... "Independence Day (Swaziland)".
Quotes of the Day:
"When life seems chaotic, you don't need people giving you easy answers or cheap promises. There might not be any answers to your problems. What you need is a safe place where you can bounce with people who have taken some bad hops of their own."
-- Real Live Preacher
"Those who can laugh without cause have either found the true meaning of happiness or have gone stark raving mad."
-- Norm Papernick
Today in history:
In 1522, one of Ferdinand Magellan's five ships -- the Vittoria -- arrived at Sanlucar de Barrameda in Spain, completing the first circumnavigation of the world.
In 1620, 149 Pilgrims set sail from England aboard the Mayflower, bound for the New World.
In 1909, word was received that U.S. Navy Adm. Robert Peary had reached the North Pole five months earlier, on April 6, 1909.
In 1991, the Soviet State Council recognized the independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
In 1995 sports, Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr., played his 2,131st consecutive game, breaking the record set in 1939 by Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees.

Good morning! Saturday September 5, 2009
Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Even though it's not really still "early" (ahhh ... sleeping in!!! I didn't get up until 8:00 - instead of 5:45!!), it's still comfortably cool. Just about the first thing I did was open doors - totally love the fresh air blowing through the house! Today will be much like yesterday: mid to upper 80s, sunny, slightly breezy, low humidity. And, I get to actually enjoy it today, not "stuck" in an office. :)
Last night I didn't get any sewing projects done, but I did get some other cleaning and organizational things done. That counts too. In a few minutes, (once I quit playing on the computer) I'm going to be headed outside to start on cleaning the porch. Later today we have a dinner to go to (DH decided we should go to a fund raising dinner for his class reunion. Doesn't make much sense to me, but oh well, it's a dinner out and he paid! LOL!!). Whatever I can't get done on the porch today I hope I can finish by tomorrow. And, of course, there's the on-going laundry (load in the wash now) and dishes. I really hope I don't run out of steam, there's a lot to get done before I can "play" (sew)! :)
Today is "Be Late for Something Day".

Good Morning! Thursday September 3, 2009
Good morning! It's a beautiful fall morning. Yes, I know, the calendar says it's still summer. But the weather says fall!! It should be around 80 today; mostly cloudy, a little breezy, maybe showers. It's still a wonderful fall day! It may not last, but I'm loving it now.
I was more productive last night. I completely finished the phase I was on for one of my major sewing projects! Now I can do the easy part, before the next more time-consuming phase begins. I have 2 other projects all lined up in my work space (which is a card table - and if I go on and move it in here where the TV is, I'll get a lot more done! LOL!). I also got a few other smaller items done, and worked some on an on-going printing project.
It feels good to have made progress, so hopefully tonight that will continue.
Today is "Festival of Hungary Ghosts (China)" ... "Independence Day (Qatar)" ... "National Day (San Marino)".

Good Morning! Wednesday September 2, 2009
Good morning! It is a gorgeous morning! This is such perfect weather. I do enjoy the changing seasons, but this is my favorite. Fall has actually started a bit early this year, and I'm loving it. Today will get to about 80, clear and sunn, light breeze, low humidity. We've had enough rain that my fall flowers (especially mums, which I love!) are blooming like crazy ... and I also have a few summer holdouts still blooming. For now I have a happy yard!
I did not get everything done last night I hoped to; but I did get a few things taken care of. I started watching AGT ... but ... I confess. After I heard the Texas Tenors, I didn't care if I saw anything else or not. They've got my vote (well, if and when I do vote! LOL!). Stunningly beautiful voices.
Tonight I hope to make a better dent on my list. Even though I'm doing well on my "cleaning schedule", I'm falling behind on all the peripheral projects I need to get done. I've only got 3 months at the most for some of them ... and others, even less. Time to really dig in now! :)
Today is "Bison-Ten-Yell Day" ..."Calendar Adjustment Day" ... "V-J Day" ... "Independence Day (Vietnam)".
