| What's Happening Now July 2010 |
| July 26 from Morris: Hi, JanBee: # 28806 here. I read the obituaries every day in the Temple paper. Today (July 26th) there is an article and 2 photos of Royce Boren, and a tribute to his 52 years of service to BISD, as teacher to trustee. A very nice tribute! I've been looking for my class picture for several weeks, and emailed Janean, asking if she knew anything about that status. She forwarded my email to BarbaraBB, who arranged the photogs, and Barbara responded that the picture was "in the mail". I look forward to receiving it, whenever it arrives. Since I Mapquested your new house some weeks ago, my "byline" on my home page on Yahoo is Stanardsville, and it gives me the temperature range for each day. It must really be hot there - I hope you successfully learned to operate the air conditioning controls! We are on "death watch" here - Mother (89) and her brother-in-law (90) are both in very bad shape. He and Mother's sister live in Shreveport (202 miles from here) and it is possible we will have 2 funerals in a short period of time. Our favorite Pastor has agreed to do Mother's funeral, but is only available on Tuesday or Thursday. I will leave for CO within a month of the funeral, then back to the family farm near Harrell's place for the Winter. Have fun unpacking and setting up! Geezer |
| July 27 from Barbara: There have been concerns about not having received the class photo.....Wish someone had said something sooner!! They were to have been mailed out about 3 weeks ago. When I asked Sherlyn....lady responsible for the pictures ...she said she would check with the person who had helped her & it was up to that person to get them in the mail. OOPS....never got in the mail. She & I are terrible sorry for the ball being dropped! They are going out today. Please let anyone who asks know as I don't have that many email addresses to send out a mass mailing. Again, sorry for the delay but they are on the way!!! Barb |
| July 27 from Janean: So glad to hear from you, and that you are happy...though very busy and occupied with sorting and unpacking. Glad you are pleased with your move. That's a good feeling. OK, 2 1/2 hrs away from where you used to live...hum. That's pretty far, but I know you want to maintain friendships. How are your puppas taking to the new location? I bet your house will sell quickly if it's in a good location, and sounds like that is definitely the case. What are the "drawbacks" to the house? We were so fortunate when we moved...our house sold in a weekend for over-asking price! Will could not have handled the stress of 2 houses for long...much less 3! Ha!! You guys were fortunate to have the lake house for initial reprieve! I'm sure you got many, many bday wishes and this bday will be remembered as the year of the move! ;) We had a great week at Lake LBJ last week! I can send pics... BTW, how did you happen to connect with the Machalek's? You guys are full of energy to be making that trip at this time! Well, glad you have your computer back and in at least semi-business again! ;) I couldn't go long w/o my computer! We are still getting together once a month for lunch...such fun. luv, j P.S. We are unbelievably getting rain this week...uncharacteristically cool!! |
| July 13 from Janean: Surely hope u r able to receive this message w luv and hugs from W and J!!! And hope u have had wonderful bday! what news of u r move. Luv j Sent from my iPhone |
| July 23 from Judy PS: Jan- It was so nice to get your email. Strange thing, I had just e mailed you and the mailer-demon sent it back....they were crossing paths out there in the electronic world! I sent it to one of your e mails, must have been the old one....need to clean up that address book! I check the web site everyday just waiting for you to be online again! We missed YOU! Glad to hear you are getting settled some. Moving is hard work and I am not sure if I could do that anytime soon again....Sounds like you had a great visit with Milton - small world we have for sure. Let us hear from you again when you get time....judy |
| July 23 from Linda M: I am glad to hear from you and have been thinking about you a lot, wondering whether you have finished unpacking. Apparently you have been working diligently but still have a bit left to do. Enjoyed the web site updates! It was interesting to hear about Milton & his family. Believe it or not, I have actually thought about him a few times these past few (!!??) years wondering what he had done since high school – he was such a smart fellow, I knew he had probably done many interesting things and so he has proved to have done. Have faith – the unpacking will finally end and you can take a bit of time to sit down and DO NOTHING for at least a few hours if you wish. Hugs, Linda |
