Catching Up After a Busy Weekend

This past weekend was very busy and about wore me out. I don't know how my brother from Florida can stand it. He is 10 years older than me, but can stay up all night playing games and then get up early to go out for breakfast.

We had our Annual Alumni Weekend this past weekend. I am on the Alumni Board so I was one of the ones to work behind the scenes to make sure that all runs smoothly.

My brother from Florida flew up for his fortieth class reunion. He and I were both in honor classes this year. When anyone from away comes to visit, all the local family gets together at my mom's to spend time visiting. We left Saturday night at around midnight. I asked my mom the next day when everyone left and she was able to go to bed. She said that they played Boggle until about 2:00 a.m., when she fell asleep writing her words! So they all went to bed! What a goofy family I have. But we really love each other and the Lord, so I guess that is all that really counts in this life!

I got to see lots of old classmates and learn a little about them. We gossipped about the ones that were not there - well, not really, just filling each other in on what they were doing, etc. But it sure felt like gossipping when we got to Calvin. He had lost 30 pounds to come to our last honor class reunion five years ago and felt so good about himself that he joined a rock band, stopped going to church and moved to a nudist colony. Now how would you feel? Is that gossipping or what?

Really the weekend was wonderful. And I am catching up on my sleep little by little.
