We had a larger group this month, and we celebrated the Birthday of one of our group. Dan (center front in the blue plaid shirt) turned seventy. Because my birthday is in December, I'm older than many of my classmates. We'll be celebrating more of them in the coming months, but yesterday was Dan's day.
One of the gals left before we got to taking our monthly photograph, but we managed to snap a few before the group broke up for the night.
I spent the morning and early afternoon making cinnamon rolls, and was extremely gratified that all of them sold, with the exception of one pack of two. The rest were packs of four. I stopped at work on my way home and gave my boss, Kim the last package. When someone asked her if it was her birthday, she said, "No. Donna just loves me." She's right. I've known her since she was six or seven and it feels like we're family.
Now that our party is behind me, I'll be concentrating on packaging up all the giveaway gifts, and the extra something I'll be sending to those who shared their mailing addresses. Once that's finished, I'd really like to try to do a little needlework. We'll have to see how that works out.
What a great bunch that showed up!

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteWe had quite the crew! Fun times.

It's wonderful to see the number of people that show up and even more surprising (perhaps) that all of them have stayed in the area and are able to attend.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteMy graduating class was (if I remember correctly) 740 people. Many of them stayed in this area, and while most of this crew travels frequently now that they're retired, there are other classmates who've never left town. Sure made it easier for me to get up to speed about friends and the city after we moved back from Florida. This was a fun group this week.

Sherryofcreateology: Great group of classmates who have remained friends. You are always so thoughtful and giving your boss the last two cinnnamon rolls was very nice. Blessings Dear…
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteGetting back with them again has been a true blessing. We all care about each other and our families, as most gatherings begin with catching up on how each of us and our loved ones are doing. It's pretty wonderful. My boss was pretty happy with the rolls. Warmed my heart.
Blessings to you, dear friend.

Are you sure they are all classmates, word might be out about the cinnamon rolls??
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great group and a fun one at that.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteThat's pretty funny. Actually, I had two two-packs left, and Julie grabbed them and went to another table where friends of hers were eating. She sold one of the duos to them and actually apologized that no one bought the last one. It was pretty cute! We do laugh a lot when we're all together. I post our monthly photo in our private FB classmate group and this time there were multiple people saying they won't miss the next one. I guess our "happy" is contagious.
Have a great weekend, dear.
xoxo
Donna
