We had our monthly classmate dinner yesterday and were told to come dressed like the '70's. I figured they meant age. (Not really. lol) I wore my class ring. There were actually only two who came dressed up and you can probably tell from the photograph.
We did have fun, like we always do, and a nice bonus was that all the music the restaurant was playing was '70s music - even though we never mentioned or asked for it!

Yeah. I learned a long time ago never to make funny faces for the camera. They always come back to haunt me. However, there were some who were perfectly happy to comply. I'll let you click on the image to enlarge it, so you can get the full effect of the silly faces. sheesh. lol
Deb (center, back row) brought the felt flowers and painted peace signs for everyone, and if you look at the table, she also brought peace sign ornaments that were made out of sparkly pipe cleaners. She was all-in, for sure.
As usual, we gathered at 3 pm, and like good old-timers, we were all headed home by 5. Two hours spent telling stories, getting caught up on medical and life issues (thankfully, not mine, for a change!), and eating good food.
We've set our November dinner for the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Someone said something about dressing up like pilgrims. I can guarantee you that's not happening! I'll just take some Indian corn to decorate the table and maybe some autumn-themed cutout cookies, but I am looking forward to seeing them all again. Until next month...
Looks like a fun time going back to the 70's!

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteIf only. It was a lovely time spent with friends, though. Hope you're continuing to heal well, dear.

Fun times, indeed! So many thoughts running around in my head about dressing up as pilgrims, but I was thinking about how fun it would be to arrive dressed as one of the other famous people groups of the great thanksgiving feast... (although I 'm not sure if that is PC. I can't keep up with those things. 🙄) I think you'd make a perfectly lovely squaw, Donna. 😁
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteYou're such a hoot. If I showed up dressed as Pocahontas, I'd probably be escorted out of the place. lol Of course, this restaurant sits on the shores of the largest lake in Wisconsin - Lake Winnebago - which was named by the Native American tribe that resided here. Who knows? Anyway, I'm not planning to dress up for that either! I'm not sure about the "PC"ness either, but I'm truthfully the least PC person you'll ever meet. Just sayin'...
Hugs,

Looks like great fun was had by all and nice that the restaurant got into the act by playing great music. I must admit I wouldn't have been getting dressed up either...not my jam.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI'm telling you, we just might be sisters from another mother! lol We did have fun, but I haven't dressed for Halloween since I was in my late 20s. That's a whole other story for another time. sigh
Hugs,

Such a great group of friends. I always say doesn't matter how old you are, just keep acting like you're fifteen and it's all good.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteWe do have a core group that usually shows up. We were talking about how much we all look forward to these dinners...especially since we've been losing too many classmates lately. It's sad. I'm completely happy to act like fifteen any day of the week! Righto!
Hugs,
xoxo
