5 in 5 and Memorandum Monday

  • by

I’m waving to Sian and her friends today. It was an incredibly busy weekend here filled with all kinds of new experiences. Tracy’s high school class celebrated their 50th High School Reunion this weekend, and he was the chairperson of the event. He and the committee have been planning this event for the last several years, and I actually know more people in his graduating class than I would in my own. (Granted I only attended my that high school for two years.) There was a Friday night gathering at a local bar, a Saturday night dinner, and a Sunday picnic. In addition, we hosted breakfast for seven Saturday morning–friends who had arrived from Florida, England, New Mexico, and Illinois. I took almost no photos of the events since there were several people taking lots of photos. But here’s a snapshot from the Saturday night dinner of the planning committee.

I learned lots about his classmates over the course of the weekend, but nothing of great interest to share here.

Squeezed into Saturday was Skylar’s fifth birthday party, and as always, Betsy planned a wonderful event with face painting, and balloon animals. I did take LOTS of photos there. Here are five in five minutes during the breaking of the pinata for Sandi’s September 5 in 5 meme:

You can see the amazing face (and arm) painting in this one. The woman who did these was a wonderful artist.

There will be more birthday photos come Wednesday for SNAP! For now, I’m off to get my homework done for class, and wrap up some odds and ends that need to be finished this week.

  1. I cannot image seeing my high school friends after 50 years – what a great moment. I like the butterfly princess face painting … I think I would like to borrow her pink poka dot tutu 🙂

  2. What a busy weekend. It must be amazing seeing school friends fifty years on. We’ve never had a reunion but I keep in touch with some through Facebook. That’s looks a good birthday party and beautiful face painting. Thank you for taking part in 5in5 this month.

  3. Super face/body painting – I wouldn’t mind getting that done myself! It looks as if a fun time was had by all. Thank you for your e-mail and it’s nice to see a photo of part of the reunion. Must have been amazing and well worth all the work.

  4. Fifty years? Wow..what a wonderful occasion to celebrate. What a wonderful weekend of celebrating, actually. And as always your beautiful photos allow us to join in. Have a great week Karen

  5. What splendid fun, both for the little ones and the big ones! Such a lot of preparation from everyone all round to create two lovely occasions. Hoping,the memories keep enriching your life for a long time to come.
