Who ARE these people?

That was my question at my 50th high school reunion last Friday. Some of them looked vaguely familiar. There were about 200 very nice looking older folks milling around. I ran into a couple of old boy friends (really friends, not “boyfriends”). One fellow and I reminisced about how we went places together when we couldn’t find other dates. He said, “There wasn’t any chemistry between us.” I agreed.

I’ve know some of these people since the 2nd grade.

Gradually, more familiar faces emerged.
My good friend and cousin Judy (I married her cousin Robert) with Kelo and Ken.

The day before the reunion dinner we attended a ladies luncheon at Barbara Jensen’s beautiful house in Lafayette. Almost 40 women were there and that gave us a chance to get reacquainted. I had some very good conversations with Becky (now Rebecca), Joan, Elizabeth, Ann, and Mary. Judy (now Judith) Henderson brought her mother, Jean. Mrs. Henderson was my dramatic coach in many local productions. She is still spry at 96. My classmates have all led such interesting lives.
Remember my quilt fabric idea? It turned into a beautiful skirt, just as I had hoped.
