Back on Track

I feel like I have been absent from the blog world for ages.

For 14 months, I worked on my 50th high school reunion and finally, last weekend, we met up in San Clemente.

One of my classmates lives in a gated community next to the spot where President Nixon had his Western White House.

We called it a "Grass Roots Reunion" because we did not hire a reunion company, but instead a large committee created a magical weekend.

One of our classmates collects vintage cars so he and his wife drove 2 of them to the reunion as part of the "decorations" - designing the 66 logos was one of my tasks.

Another classmates is a professional artist (if you live in the Omaha area, he owns and operates the Haunted House) and he did caricatures throughout the 3 days of the reunion- my co-chair and I posed for him at the Friday night party

on the deck of the home of another classmate.

I won't bore you with the hundreds of photos that are posted on our class Facebook page, but I wanted to show you this group photo.

That's me in the blue sweater standing behind 3 of our former teachers - the man on the left started teaching at our high school the year we were born!

This isn't the best shot of me, but it epitomizes the weekend - lots of laughter, a few tears and so many fun memories evoked.

We are back at home and I am busy with a few fall projects

and changing vignettes all around the house.

There are no more banners to make, emails to read or phone calls to make so I have time to move things around the house.

It's good to be back on track!
