Danielle in Portland

Many years ago my sister-in-law called me and told me one of the girls in her 4-H group reminded her of Cari, and that she wanted me to meet her.  And that I would love her.

I met her.  I loved her.

Danielle is about to go out there and make her future, and while waiting to fly out of Portland she got ahold of me to see if we could hang out.  Heck ya!  Mark and I picked her up and went into Portland and got some desert.  Danielle got flourless chocolate cake.  Looked pretty darn good.

I got key lime pie: it was so very good!  I want to go back and get some more.  Soon!

Mark got beer and a coconut almond chocolate pie.  Oh my.

See!

As Danielle shared her hopes and goals Mark and I were both so impressed with what her future holds.  I know she is going to succeed in anything she puts her mind to.

We are so proud of her we could burst!

Homward bound

Driving to the airport we took a side trip to Sacramento.

We drove through Old Sac. 

Had so much fun here in olden times. 

Sac Airport has grown!  Wow!

And very different art.

A big ole rabbit.  Amazing.

Here our plane awaits us.

Ah.  A book.  A treat.  A beer.

Makes for a good flight.

Great book about two women on a trip around the world.

Mark waits for Steven to pick us up.

We drove by this building: can't figure out what the heck it is!

Mural.  Portland does love her murals.

One of the schools had art on their fence: very cute.

Loved visiting YC, but glad to be home.

Class Of 73: you are amazing.

Mark and I attended my 40th HS reunion.

Yuba City High School.  Home of the Honkers.

Here my friends Edie, Dale, Denise, and the cute boy I live with give me a pose.

These are some gals I had a BLAST with in HS and beyond.

Edie and Denise are the kind of people I wish everyone had in their lives.

The world would be a better place if that was the case.

Got me a new mug.  I love this one!

Ron, Lewis, and Cheri check out the yearbook.

It was funny to see folks go through it to figure out who everyone was!

Hey, it has been 40 years after all.....

 

Hanging out.  Catching up.  Loving it.

Lewis and Margaret getting ready to pose in the photo booth.

So stylish Lewis.  As always.

Ron looks like he's wearing the sorting hat from Harry Potter!

I wonder what house he would have been placed in.....

Look at how cute you two are!!

Mark couldn't resist the pirate hat.

Lots of pictures were taken.

Liz, got you.  Ron, sorry. 

Dancing happened.

 

The woman on the far right was one of the folks who organized this.

Marcy and her co-horts in crime did an amazing job. 

Hey Ron!

Love my friends!

Love em!

Hey Mark!

We had a great time.

Liz and Denise had a great time.

Edit, Cheri, Sharon, and Ron hanging.

Go Honkers!

This morning we met for breakfast before everyone headed for home.

We went to the Dancing Tomato.

I liked going just cause the name was a kick!

Good food and great friends.

It doesn't get much better than this.

I told everyone I'd like to get together and have a multi class event. 

I said I'd plan it.  Time to get started planning NOW!

California here we come!

Mark and I flew down to California on Friday so I could attend my 40th HS reunion.

Here Mark checks out the Kindle to see if he can listen to some of his programs on the plane.

Important stuff folks!

Important for me?  Coffee!

Mark was happy we were on a Huskies plane.

Go Huskies!

At John's I got a kick out of the pirate monkey by the pool.

Pirates WILL be at Relay this year!  Oh yes they will.

We took a drive and John showed us all the changes at Sutter HS.

'Hit or Sit'

I like it.  I love me some football!

I love the view of the Sutter Buttes in the background at the football field.

It was fun taking a drive and seeing the sights.
