Blast from the past

Marianne was at the club meeting last night. I'm pleased to report that she still looks more like my pictures from 25-30 years ago than that picture posted of her from the club function in 2003. Funny (or not so funny!) how lighting and lenses and angles can distort how a person really looks.

And she's just as talkative as she ever was!

So it was great to see Marianne again. We caught up on a lot, but we've just barely scratched the surface. Another meeting is definitely in order!

 

Well Marianne, I think you know what everyone is thinking now... You need to buy another Fiero.

No problem, Marianne. It took us 25 years to meet up again. What's a couple more months for our next chat?

 

That may also be because you didn't have me yelling across three tables during conversations.

But on Patty's point, where are you Marianne? You're a cool lady, we need you at those meetings.

North fell through anyways, you lucky dog. I got stuck with my kid brother.

Hi!!

I spent the last couple weeks sitting in a chair at the edge of my sons
hospital bed. Had to wear a visor, hospital gown, gloves, ect..no phone or
even paper allowed in the room due to possible contamination. So it was
if I dissapeared off the face of the earth for a bit. whew it was scary!

He had what we thought was the flu, it became worse, so we ended up at
the hospital. They transferred him to Royal Columbian and he eventually
had brain surgery in order to relieve the pressure of fluid build up in his
skull.! Turned out he had meningitis which only occurs in 200-300 of the
population yearly in Canada. Still we feel fortunate as he's now recovering
at home.


So guess that's a good excuse for missing the meeting and not as yet
getting together with you Pat for a cup of coffee. Sigh my life has to have
these weird twist of fate.

On another note - I kept getting emails bugging me to join facebook.
Oh no - no time! Eventually when he was at home I finally had time to
check it out. I was curious and turned out that Temp High
School is online and you guys would love seeing all your former friends!
Not to mention an upcoming renunion to be held sometime in Oct. The
facebook site is mainly people from a 10 yr period (our age group).

Marianne

PS I'll return with the info if you guys want to check it out.

Geez Marianne, sorry to hear you've had your hands full with your son's health problems. Glad to hear however that he appears to be getting better!

The cup of coffee can wait until you've got some spare time. Hopefully that won't take another 25 years though.

 

Am I Mario? If I am, Gretchin is SO getting renamed "Yoshi".

Heh heh, I see you've made your usual indelible impression on another woman.
