Cephus, we enjoyed the get together too, and your description is perfect. Seeing old friends is indeed like a tonic! And getting to see and visit with you and Diane was a good tonic for all of us!

New friends are true friends, but old friends are Gold friends!

I would like to take the time to thank everyone

that came out to the summer fling. Great food and wonderful

fellowship. I believe we had around 47 folks that attended Saturday evening.

I wish you all good health and hope to see you all next

April at our spring get together.

The below message is from Don Ellisor regarding Saturday's Summer Fling.

The age of unusual occurrences is upon us. After 76 Years of being on time to the point of analytic I missed the time of the party by 3 hours, arriving at 6:30 . I have racked my brain to come up with an excuse that would absolve me of all wrong doing but alas I have come up empty. I screwed up! No one to blame but me. Please for give me. I had anticipated this time together since it was originally announced. Shirley and I arrives three hours late but some classmates were still there and graciously stayed and visited for another hour or so. Tom, Tony, Barbara , Johnny, Lynn and others. The bar b que was great and the visit was even greater. I had looked forward to seeing all of you especially Lloyd Pond who I haven’t seen in almost twenty years. We began riding the bus together in Black Junior High everyday. I may have forgot the correct time of the event but I have not forgot all the memories associated of the class of 1964. Mae Culpa, Mea Culpa!

The Summer Fling was great! Thanks to all who planned it to perfection, and to Jimmie Lee for the pictures. Sorry most of us missed you, Don!

Thank you for adding to my vocabulary Don, your explanation of y'all's timing made me laugh. Most folks had left and we had been there about 3 hours and were getting ready to go. I always enjoy seeing y'all and finally got to talk to Shirley a little more. I just assumed you had another earlier commitment, but was glad to see you both. And I enjoyed catching up with old friend Lloyd Pond and others too.

And you taught me a new phrase to add to my "Golden Years excuses". "The Age of Unusual Occurences!" That's a good one.

Thank you!!

So very sorry we missed the party. The doctors seem to be playing a game with meds. One adds a med and then a different doctor deletes it or doubles it. My feet and legs have been swelling badly so sitting in the car is painful. Went to Houston last week because Ron had his six month appointment at TMC. He dropped me off at my sister's house and I slept for several hours. My job is just to keep him awake in the car..
beau, I am praying for you and your surgeons. I understand being thrown around by technicians or nurses. In my ill fated kidney surgery someone on the surgical team flipped me over on my right shoulder. They damaged my shoulder enough that I am still in physical therapy. turns out to be a good thing that we didn't come. We had a man over Friday night for dinner and a movie. This is kind of our small ministry now. We have several guys who come for meals and movies. Anyway, the man called back on Saturday afternoon saying he felt really sick. We have been in isolation since. Vaccinated people (us) can still shed virus onto unvaccinated or vaccinated! I don't want to spread yuck onto my friends.

Thé guy's test results won't be back until tomorrow.
i am continuing to cook for my grandson and his wife. They made me a great grandmother. Great grandson's name is Elijah. They transferred back to texas three months ago. My granddaughter in law said her baby needed to be born in Texas. They live in Austin. This is a joke. Austin is spreading like Houston. To me they live in Dripping Springs, but it is called South Austin. As long as it isn't California anymore I am happy. Google gives him 4 months of paternity leave. Lam Engineering gives her six months and told her she could work from home as long as she liked and work flex hours. Can you believe this? Different world.
