I
<heart> them!!!

|
A mini high school reunion was being held here
at the
|
GREY LODGE a super cool beer bar.
 |
Mosaic tile in the bathroom
 |
there’s a good chance we’ll be back here on 1/20.
We like Dogfish 120 & it is unusual for it to be
on tap. The only “problem” is the Grey Lodge is
about a 45 minute ride for us.
 |
|
the bar is cute & cozy, very welcoming!!!
|
 |
|
Eight of us got together for the reunion.
We have known each other for 36 years.
that’s a pretty darn long time!!!
We attended St Basil Academy & graduated in 1979!
|
 |
the girl we roped in to taking our picture –
with four (or was it five) different cameras?
Her good deed for the day!!! And we are grateful.
 |
|
FUN was had by all – let’s not wait so long to
get together next time girls!!!!
|
 |
ALWAYS TOGETHER!!!

I recently took inventory of our

We decided we better get using them
before they expire.
We have quite a few.
