    Still buried here in Medicare stuff, but a chance encounter and conversation has opened a door - hope!!!
    the first in months. I am hoping that light of hope is not in incoming train. I have a hundred page form to fill out.

    I do have a dog sitting dog here this weekend a lovely golden doodle - he is an absolute love.

    High school reunions - I went to my tenth, it was a bust - the few friends I hoped to see did not show I graduated in 76 so it was fall of 86 and the reunion was a semi-formal dinner dance - once the music started it was so loud you could not have a conversation. I remember my ticket being $80 which was a lot! (I just used an inflation calculator online and it said that would be $229 in todays us dollars) I got the ticket for my birthday. It is up there with one of the most disappointing things I have ever gotten. Only because the reunion was so not fun. I looked into going a few years back probably 2016 and they were doing another semi-formal dinner dance....NOPE ! I did have a few formals for work occasions back in the day, but now who wants that kind of event. Debbie has it right, a afternoon wine tasting and catching up sound much better.

    hope you get the Medicare stuff taken care of soon.

    Our reunions, except for the 10 yr(if they had a 5, I never heard about it-I started helping then kind of got put in charge at the 10-totally in charge the past 4 or so of them).Our ten was semi formal but since then, they have been more low key- out in the middle of a vineyard for a few and the last two at my friends winery. Food was bbq that a classmate cooked on site. I think we charged $25 per person or $40 per couple to cover expenses of renting the tables, the cost of the food,etc.
    We do a big raffle- tons of prizes- they buy tickets for $1 each and put it in the box for the prize they want to win. That money helps for expenses too like sending out invitations and things like that.
    I barely talked to anyone while in school even though I knew most of them- small town so small class. Some I knew since kindergarten. Some my mom grew up with their parents.
    After all these years, the cliques are pretty much gone. Everyone seems happy to see everyone. This next one I will sign some people up to help with the auction table- I got stuck there most of the time, selling tickets so only talked to the ones that came up to the table.
