On September 14, 2012, the Class of 1957 was getting ready for their 55th Class Reunion on September 15, 2012. We decided to enter a float in the parade on Friday. It rained us out but we had fun working on the float although I think we agreed we won't try it again. Later, several went to Miller's Grill for lunch. I didn't take pictures there. Clicking on the pictures below should make them larger.
Our theme was Golden Oldies and the plywood dancer cutouts were loaned to us by Lance and Jessie Neal. We were ready to roll, even had plastic on the hay bales.
Ralph Hancock was handy with the stapler! Looking on Marilyn Back, Harry Freeman, Jeaneta Freeman and Arlene Williamson. Leon James and Jim Sillyman was looking on from a distance.
Jeaneta Freeman getting those streamers just right!
Way in the background Leon James and Jim Sillyman catching up and Norm Epperson, Lee Holder and Harry Freeman watch the girls work! (they did help some though)
Checking out who is the tallest-Norm or Lee! Also check out Arlene Williamson's 50's look.
A fun time but I am glad we are not doing it again tomorrow.
Like most of you we have been having a slow start to spring although the next two days are supposed to be near 80-way to hot for me and this time of year. We have been having lots of rain which is a really good thing for the grass and plants.
I have been trying to get most of the weeds out of the flower beds so I can get some mulch down. My oldest daughter is helping me as she is opening a perennial nursery in our milk barn-fittingly called Milk House Perennials. Her opening date is May 11 so lots to get done. She will be selling hardy perennials-hosta, daylilies, ferns and other perennials. We will also be having a Daylily Bloom Fest Open Garden from June 15 through July 20th. The business will then close for the summer to re-open in the fall.
Haven't done much card making but needed a baby card for a shower so made this one and put a gift card inside-simple.
I used SU Pretty in Pink for the base card. Used a SU scallop punch in white for the baby cutout. The cutouts were made using a Cuttlebug machine and a Provo Craft Baby die cut set. Like using this set for baby cards as there is a good selection of dies. The bottom was trimmed with a Martha Stewart border punch.
Will be back with more later.
