Reunion - 2012

Jeanie invited me to her all grades reunion for Kirkman High School. I didn’t graduate from there but a lot of my friends did. I really didn’t think that it would be very much fun, but as soon as we arrived the live band was already playing oldies. My weakness are songs from the 50’s and 60’s. This was a band who actually played at Kirkman. There was another band to play at 6. Needless to say, I had more fun than I’ve had in a long, long time. The food was great—I actually was able to eat and stay on my diet. A friend, Debbie, got me to go out on the dance floor. There were a lot of women just kind of dancing with each other like we did years ago. When I was growing up, Nancy, d Reida and I were constantly dancing and doing the twist. We loved our rock n roll. I saw Freddie again—he grabbed me as he was leaving. Now Freddie is married, but we go a long way back. He was never a boyfriend, but we did take a lot of midnight rides together. That’s another story that maybe someday I will tell. I did chase him and said you have to have your picture taken with me. I had my picture taken with him last week and again this week. Hope his wife doesn’t care, well, he said she doesn’t. Oh, that was last week he said that. All I can say is that I had a fabulous time, good food, working up a sweat on the dance floor and laughing more than I have in years. Life is good! Thank you Jeanie! DR 10/14/12
