Happy to see new Blogs by other people


Hey Everyone,

I was thrilled to sign on to our Blog site and see some new postings. Thanks John, Mary and Gail for taking the time to post--you made my day and made me smile. It is always fun to come to the site and see it growing and changing with new postings. Please continue to post information. Even if it is to just stop by and say Hi to us. We really do want to hear from you!

Well, I took a trip now Memory Lane on June 26 and June 27th. Bob--the love of my life and I went to Klamath Falls for the "Kruise the Klamath." We took our 57 Chevy down there to the car show and cruised Main Street for about 3 hours on Saturday night. We did the car show out in Moore Park on Saturday until about 3:30 PM on Saturday. Who remembers going to Moore Park and hanging out? In High School all the girls went to check out the boys and their cars and the music they were playing when they were cleaning and waxing their cars. I also remember going there as a kid for family picnic's and the Southern Pacific Railroad use to have their BIG Company picnic there too. Both my parents worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad so we always went. It was a fun day at Moore Park and I saw a lot of people we went to High School with. We were parked right next to Ron and Linda Sumner who have a beautiful red 55 Chevy (use to be Linda Lenninger). They were in the class of 1962--been married a very long time--since High School I think. They are so much fun to be around, and Ron and Bob have become good friends--they both love cars. There were a little over 300 cars out in Moore Park for the cr show. That evening we all cruised Main Street and we had over 300 cars that were in the cruise(who can forget dragging Main Street back in the 60's????? boy we burned up a lot of gas back then didn't we) Now the people sit along the side of the street for hours and watch the cool cars cruise Main Street. I think the cruise for me really brought me back to great memories--all good and lots of fun back then! So that was my trip down memory lane. I was really happy to see old friends and give them a hug. I am glad that we are still alive and healthy and happy. I had promised Andi Silani at the last class reunion that we would give her grandson's a ride during the cruise, so we found them, picked Andi and her two adorable grandson's up and they cruised with us for a little while. Her Grandson's thought that was pretty cool! It was great to be able to do that for Andi--by the way she looks just like she did in High School--what a beautiful woman she is!

I have been enjoying my summer. It has warmed up quite a bit here in Eugene, OR where I have lived for the last 34 years. I feel very lucky to live here. Both my children live in Portland, OR and that isn't that far away if I want to go see them.

Life has been pretty good to me. I met Bob about 4 years ago and this has honestly been the best part of my life. We are having sooooooooooo much fun together and he is great. No we aren't married, we are just engaged. We thought maybe when we are in our 80's we might think about getting married--LOL. We love our life just the way it is right now and we are both happy with what we have. I have talked him into coming to our 50 year reunion. He has had the opportunity to meet some of the people I went to school with and found out they are regular people just like he is. I think he feels more comfortable about going to the reunion now after meeting them.

I would love to see more of us sending out Blogs, so please talk on E-mail to your friends from High School and tell them to come and Blog. They will need to contact me first: Suzannesh@aol.com and I am more than HAPPY to add their names to the site so that they can start to Blog. Enjoy the rest of the month of July. In August Bob and I are flying to Reno for "Hot August Nights." That is really fun, we went last year too.

Take care and Hugs to all of you,
Suzie
