Marion and her coffee.
CP62 class picnic.
Here we go. It has
been a great summer. The weather has
been unusually and unbelievably hot this year.
Today was our annual Clover Park Class of ’62 picnic at American
Lake Park Marion
had to put on a jacket. Then again, she
had the heat on at the house before we left for the picnic. We set everything up at the first picnic
table past the shelter around 10AM and
John Halvorsen showed up shortly after that.
I believe I said this last year but I think John is one of the nicest
guys in our entire class.
As it turns out, nobody else was apparently able to find us,
but the three of us had a wonderful time listening to music, munching on
goodies, and talking about everything from movies, music, languages, travel,
family, careers, and we even had some nice things to say about “some” of you
fellow classmates. J I know some
of you would have been here if you only did not live so cotton picking far
away. Thank you to all of you that sent a note to let us know you could not be here. Sorry I forgot to take my camera. Here is one shot from Marion ’s
smart-phone.
We started wrapping up the party
a little before 2PM . Maybe it is time to put a moratorium on the
picnic until around 2017. (55 years after 1962)
One classmate suggested that it is not really worth the money to travel
to Tacoma for a 4hr picnic and that
is a reasonable and logical deduction. Paul
Olson had several good suggestions for a three-day or at least two-day event
with several venues. We have people among us that are most excellent at event
planning and project management and we trust that they will come out of the
woodwork when the time is right. In the
mean time, life goes on for all of us… well; some are departing as the years
roll by. When you get right down to it,
life is pretty darn good. Enjoy it while
you can my friends. God bless you and
maybe we will see you again someday. Farewell.
My Saturdays have been booked
solid it seems like for several weeks. I
did some street preaching at the T-Dome on 7-18, attended my baby sister’s
wedding on 7-25, did flag waving on Freedom Bridge for the troops and attended
a family picnic at a local park on 8-1, attended a happy birthday Taco Truck
feed in Seattle at my rich nephew’s home on 8-8, and of course, today we had
the CP62 class picnic at American Lake Park.
Next Saturday, Lord willing, I will be shooting in a local International
Defensive Pistol Match and then the following two Saturdays, Marion and I will
be at our Condo on Kauai .
Must study, pray and meditate
for a little while now - in preparation for the worship services tomorrow
morning at TLBC.
