Grad reunion, WOW what a blast!

I thought about taking a photo, but decided not to. So many people came, so much chatter, so loud, everybody was up for this visit with friends from past years. We started visiting before we even got in the haul, was nice to see so many people from my early days. 

School was never my strength, I just wanted to get out and get on with life, make a buck, have a family, get going on what life was all about, I always felt school, the way it's taught, was a big waste of time. But friends, and the connection we got there, that was fantastic! Some friends we have stayed friends since school, others I hadn't seen since going to work. I'm really glad I went last night, Polly didn't go to last night's get together, but tonight we will both attend the dinner and dance. 

After entering the room, I couldn't take a step without seeing someone, talking with another, took me 1/2 hour to get near the bar, then another, so many people it was overwhelming 🤯, yet beautiful, to see so many that cared enough to attend this fun time. 

Polly just asked me "did ya have a few beers?" I said "one", she laughed then I said "drinking would get in the way of talking " LoL I did talk alot, but I also listened, was a really heart warming time seeing and meeting people that I went to school with so long ago, yet never seeing since. 

I made a big circle around the hall after I got a beer, every time I was talking with one person, I was seeing another I wanted to talk with, was really difficult to be surrounded by so many people, and want to talk with them all at the same time! 😂 

I could name all the people, but instead I'll say, I was so happy to be there, in the moment enjoying so many conversations, and seeing so many from my past. A feeling I can't really express, other than it was great 👍 

It is an amazing life we, Polly & I live. Yesterday a couple that just got together a year ago came for a visit, she from Vernon now in Alberta, he from Port Alberni and now in Alberta, working in the same area met at the lake one day, he kept asking for her number, she finally gave in, and the rest is history. They have been together since. 

Yesterday she said that she wanted what we had, she remembered when she met us, how much she thought she wanted that. Now I'm thinking she has that, and so does he. Nice to see, people together, really enjoying each other. 

I saw a whole room of that last night, and tonight I'll see that again, this time I'll have Polly with me, be a really good time again I'm sure. 

I did have one guy ask "Are ya still writing to the paper?" I said "no, but I write a blog" I'm still enjoying writing, funny hey, I hated English, yet I like to write ✍️ 

I just had best laugh, Polly was knocking on the cantaloupe, there is a commercial about knocking on the cantaloupe, and here she was testing it out, ya can't know how loud I laughed, and so did Polly 🤣🤣🤣

Love our life ❤️
