A Sixty's Weekend....

what a weekend! Last night I went to Karl's Cabin for my annual high school class get-together that we have been having every year for quite awhile. We had a good turnout of local people who showed up. We were talking about how close our class is. Very few classes keep in touch and have yearly get-togethers like we do. We have a very strong bond. I mean, we all grew up together.....we spent our primary years together...we just didn't graduate and then go our separate ways and maybe see each other once every 5 years or so. We're closer than that. We had some new people which is always nice.....and this one girl's husband came by himself cause she was in Florida.....that was so nice. He didn't even graduate with us!...but he still came cause we are such a cooool bunch of people. This young guy who worked there came into the room and asked to look through our yearbook....although looking at our yearbook can be a bit depressing. It's hard to even recognize anyone anymore. Damn....the Class of '64 is turning 64!!!

"WHEN I'M 64"....by The Beatles....

I remember when I was a teen going to the teen dances and the Beatles first came on the scene....one of the local DJ's was there MC'ing some bands and I asked him if he could get the Beatles to come to our teen club and this is exactly what he said....and I quote...."..by next year, nobody will even remember them"......LOLOL...LMAO!!!!!!!! So what the fuck did he know anyway???

Obviously, they never made it to our teen club, but they did come to Detroit at the Olympia Stadium and I got standing-room only tickets which cost me a whopping $2.00 and I went and saw them....couldn't hear a damn thing....but at least I saw them. Still got the ticket. Couple years later, I saw them again.

"Those were the days my friend....."

Today I drove to Fort St. and partied with my son and his fiance's family and friends at the Downriver Cruise Fest. I got there around 2:00 and didn't leave until after 10:00. Drank alot of beer....had me some passion fruit vodka and Pepsi and totally got a little blitz. I was going to drop in at my cousin's bar a couple miles down the road, but I was told that there was no place to park anyway, so I went straight home...probably a better decision.

So another nostalgic evening....saw alot of classic cars. Saw cars I or we use to actually own back in the day. I use to own a '55 Chevy...a '62 Mercury Comet...a '66 Corvair (don't laugh), hubby use to own a '68 Camaro, and an old old Mercury...like a '40 something...I forget...I wasn't around in those days. Hubby is really really old....like 90 or 100...hahaha....just kidding. He just had an old car for the purpose of owning an old car I guess. Maybe a '49 Mercury or maybe that's what his brother owned cause they both owned really old Mercurys. WHATEVER! They are ALL old nowadays....even the Jeep I'm driving is old...

It was a fun day and evening ..... lots of good memories ..... lots of good times

Hubby didn't go....he stayed home laboring to put a fence up in front of our front walk. Told him to spend the lousy $250 for the installation, but noooooooooooo he can save us $250. So far he ended up hiring some guy to dig the post holes...$100....so guess now we are really saving $150. Once he gets the posts in then the fence guy has to come and measure between the posts so he can custom make the fencing part that goes in between the posts. Problem is that it is so hard to get ahold of this guy. I had hoped to have it done before Memorial weekend and now it's almost 4th of July. I just hope it's done by Halloween so I have some place to set my pumpkins up against!.....
