Heading to Dallas… Although that area was home for 25 years, I don’t get that way very often, so I am excited and looking forward to it. I’m having lunch with a group of educational colleagues that I haven’t seen in quite some time, so I’m sure we’ll have stories to tell. If you are a former student and your ears burn this week, that’s why!
We’re meeting in Cedar Hill where I lived many years so it will be fun to see the changes that community has undergone, and there are many. When I lived there, it barely had fast food places; now it has every chain restaurant one could ask for as well as numerous shopping areas. I felt lucky that we had a K-Mart.
On Friday, my family and I are going to get together and celebrate what would have been my mother’s 100th birthday. We will honor her life and the many happy moments that she added to all of ours. As you know from many of my blogs, she was a special woman; years ahead of her time—strong and steadfast. It will be fun to see the extended family and share stories that have occurred since we were last together.
And Saturday promises to be a hoot. Three of my very best friends from high school and I are getting together all day and into the night to reminisce. I know my stomach will hurt on Sunday from all the laughter. We have so much to rehash, and so many people to talk about that I doubt we finish. Anybody’s ears from the class of 1969 could burn. It’s been a long time since we’ve had this opportunity, and I can’t wait. Sure hope they don’t look old!!!!
