February Classmate Dinner...

Front l-r: Deb B. Lisa, Brad, Bruce and Janet. Back: John, Cal, Dan and Deb N, Donna and Handsome, and Max

We had another classmate dinner yesterday, and this time we had three couples attending. Dan and Deb, and Janet and Max both started dating when we were all in high school (I think Janet and Max started in junior high), and got married after graduation. Of course, Handsome and I were the third couple. Two of our group are widowed, and the rest are married, too, but their spouses didn't attend.

It was pretty much guys on one end of the long table set up and gals on the other, but we chatted back and forth. As always, it was nice to see everyone and find out who's getting ready for a trip, or what else is going on. Deb and Dan will be gone for a month on vacation out West, so we'll miss them next month. 

The temperature got into the mid-50s Wednesday with plenty of sun, so we all looked forward to getting out to visit. The weather won't hold like this though. After all, it is February in Wisconsin, home of the Frozen Tundra. We know that it's going to get cold - and snow at least once more. Shelly always says that the robins have to be snowed on at least five times before Spring actually arrives for real. We make the most of the good days when we can.

I'm taking the WMBBD to the vet for a diagnostic appointment today, and then I'm going in to work for a couple hours to cover for my boss who's getting ready to leave on vacation tomorrow. I've been working on a 30-minute daily purge program (getting rid of stuff), so I'll do that again for a bit when I get home from work. Then, I'm going to stitch for a while. I'll be back tomorrow to share the latest. See you then!

  1. It's always good to see "old" friends gathering... that's a good size group, too! It's nice so many enjoy it and make the effort. We've had a lot of robins in our yard, but the snow we got atleast 2 weeks ago still covers the grass. 🫤 Sounds like another productive day, so I better get my sneakers on and try to catch up 😉

  2. You had a good sized group this time.
    Yes, we've been enjoying the warm temps & sunshine, but by the weekend, temps will drop again.

  3. It's nice that some spouses are going along to your meeting. We escaped the predicted big storm locally and only got a couple of inches of snow and luckily no ice. Tomorrow we're supposed to get more though. Surely winter is coming to and end???

  4. So nice to see the group expanding.
    It was a scorching 37* here today.
    We have rain and snow showers predicted through Monday.
    I think I can actually add purging as a new hobby.

  5. Sherryofcreateology: Wonderful gathering of long time friends and spouses. I do hope WMBBD is okay. We are having frigid cold and rain, hail and snow. Only a dusting of white thank goodness!
