We started the day visiting with Mike and Mary over breakfast. Then Mike, Doria, and I went out to walk Ranger. Ranger was patient with Doria's many stops to pick up clumps of grass or pebbles, and he seemed to enjoy sniffing all the things in this new environment. We walked to the park where Ranger rested in the shade while Doria played on the swings, slide, and seesaw. It was a lot of walking for a 2-year old, but she did well.
After lunch, Dan and I ran errands while Ranger took a good nap. Dan had picked out a stone for his parents' graves in the morning, so we also stopped by to see where in the cemetery it would be placed. We then had a quiet afternoon of reading and rest before heading out for the casual gathering at a local watering hole that kicked off his class reunion.
It was fun watching members of the class of '65 trying to identify one another. Dan was not very skilled at it, though some people seemed to recognize him right off. I found a number of nice people to chat with (mostly spouses who were not part of the graduating class), so it ended up being a pleasant evening.
I was class of '64. Dan and I must be about the same age. I graduated one year early ( I just turned 17). Sounds like you are having fun! Love the stories!
