Two-week trip to Cleveland for a 60-year
high school class reunion and a visit with family...
Well, before I left for Cleveland, I dug up my potatoes.
I usually get one that looks like a duck, but this one is
"Love-ly."
Temps were in the 80s and 90s and the
flowers were beautiful at Winton Place.
Cousins Chris & Tim, Susie & David,
Mary Anne, Leanne, Mark and Liam
came for supper on Sunday.
Irene and I were classmates at St. Mary's College.
We had lunch at Donna's on Monday.
Leanne and I went to the Art Museum
on Tuesday because there was no water
in the condo all day. This was Donna's and my
favorite room when we were kids. Cousin
Chuck met us at the museum and we drove out
to see cousins Tommy and Patty.
On Wednesday, Chuck joined me and high school
friend Marion (Mac) and John for lunch.
That evening, Susie, David, Leanne, and I
went out to "Aunt" Ellen's for supper. Had so
much fun (and wine) I forgot to take pictures.
Friday afternoon, Janet, Donna, and Diane and I
took a tour on "Lolly the Trolley" to see how much
Cleveland has changed in the past 60 years.
Friday night, I skipped the reunion cocktail party
to have dinner with cousins
David & Susie, Leanne, and Mary Anne.
The class reunion luncheon was on Saturday.
Joyce, Diane, Carol, and Dot and I were
West Tech cheerleaders together!
Saturday evening, cousin Beverly and I
went to an art exhibit opening for cousin
Nancy's friend. Nancy's siblings Jimmy
and his son Jimmy, Kathleen and Ken,
and Susan and Hardy also came with
some of their family members.
On Sunday morning, I flew to Cedar Rapids to visit
Tom and Trina's family. We were so busy, this is the only
photo I took--Caiden getting warmed up for his ball game.
We celebrated Trina and Jett's birthdays, I met their
exchange student from Germany (Nike..pronounced Nee-Kah),
and went to a homecoming parade besides keeping up with
all the kids' activities. Caiden and I broke the bank playing
Monopoly before he "broke me" and ended up with all
the money in the bank!
I flew back to Grand Forks on Thursday, stopped at
the farm for a few minutes, and then drove to Minot
to meet Bob (who was in Killdeer helping Jimmy)
for the Hostfest. We had tickets to see Charlie Pride
on Friday. Charlie is 85 and never sat down during
his over-an-hour performance!!
Bill Florian sang with The New Christy Minstrels.
He had been to our park in Texas, and Bob saw him in Minot
when he was buying our tickets for the Hostfest. Bill was
interviewing for a performance spot, and the lady in
charge called Bob to ask him for a recommendation.
Bill got the job! He thanked Bob and sang a song for me. :-)
On Friday evening, we headed home and I found
this tomato in my garden.
