1984 Reunion!

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since writing on my blog, but here I am ready to tell you about my class reunion it was a hit and a lot of fun to see everyone. First of all I drove to California with two kids in tow. It was a long drive, but I break it up in two days. After having chemo just can't do it in one day to hard on me. Anyway the kids and I had a good time driving to California made our stops and had a blast. We made it in Redding about 1 pm then headed to see my mother and brother in Red Bluff. It was good to see them mom was on the porch waiting for us to pull up in our little red Prius. We hung out with mom for a while until we headed to our motel room. I took the kids swimming it was a nice time especially to cool off in that Red Bluff heat. Yeah it was a hot one the week we were there. The next day we picked up our friend Steve and headed to the birthday party for Brenna at the Redding aquatic center. She had a great time swimming, cake and gifts. Rosa and her daughter came to the party that was sweet of them so grateful for my friend Rosa she is a special lady. Rosa was my date for my class reunion we met up at the casino Friday around 6:45 pm for dinner. I couldn't believe who I saw Curtis Baker, Sean Gillespie, Janet Moisey, Kelly Ross, Todd Ross, Nap Avila, Brendan McCaughey it was great seeing everyone. If I left you out it's just memory is bad. I just saw everyone I know from school. Can't forget my buddy Liz Morris who I had dinner with that night and her boyfriend Ross. Well it was comedy night and I lost mine and Rosa's tickets so wasn't sure if we could get in. Well after some talking to the will call man he let us go to the comedy night. It was fun had a great time laughing. We later went to the bar and mingled with everyone and then started our way to Lore's room to have a meeting about the reunion what was going to happen on Saturday night. It was nice to talk and have some drinks even though I don't drink due to medications it was nice watching other people drink and have a good time at it. We looked at the yearbook there was a lot of people at the reunion I didn't recognize because I didn't know them in high school like Bill Ausman, Brian Miller sorry fellas didn't know you in high school, but glad I got to chat with you at the reunion. So happy you made it for the reunion also. Rosa and I left the reunion about 1 am we had enough partying for the night. Oh forgot to tell you that my daughter and I had a pedicure on Wednesday at 5 pm together it was fun she loves it too. Then on Friday I had a massage it was perfect to start off the day. So anyway on Saturday afternoon we spent most of our time in the pool. Rosa and I got ready and made our way to the Saturday reunion night. This time I got to see everyone from the class it was a good turn out about 80 people showed up so it was a fun time. I was really happy to see Doug Buck he came up to my table and said hi. It was so good to see him. He was my first boyfriend in high school. I enjoyed catching up with him and so happy he is doing so well with his life in Florida. He is doing a great job teaching our youth. He seem to be having a great time taking pictures and talking to everyone. Love seeing friends you haven't seen in years. We enjoyed the buffet food it was very good. Then there was dancing to a great band country band that played rock and roll. It was a wonderful time. We all danced to the band it was such a blast and I notice Doug taking pictures and cutting loose on the dance floor also. We all had a great time. Especially as I was told Tina was a party animal. LOL We left the casino around 1:30 am had to take our friend Liz home she is a party animal too. The next day I didn't want to wake up the BBQ started at 11:30 am and I didn't get up until 11;00 am I was running late picking up my friend Steve. We made it to the picnic at 12:30 pm didn't see as many people the night before, but got to see Steve Hines haven't seen him since High School. We didn't stay long at the BBQ Brenna was getting bored there wasn't many children at the party. So we took off about 2:00 pm. I must say it was a great time to see old friends and make new ones. It was some good memories being made that weekend I'll never forget them. It was also nice to see my family didn't get to see a lot of you, but know that you are in my heart. Something is bothering me this week Robin Williams died of suicide my heart is heavy at this tragic news. I too suffer from depression so I know what pain he was in. I can't get over that he died I am in shock he made us laugh, but deep down he was so sad. I hope I never get that depressed again like I have many times. Reach out and get help if you are depressed. I always called someone when I was hurting I reached out for help and I will continue to reach out for help even when times are good. I want to talk with you now when things are good not when they are bad. Lets get together and talk to each other now. If you need to talk I am here for you. net
