Those new pots I showed you on the last post all got filled and the plants put back in the Danger Garden. We found some heavy gloves for Tom and he survived without injury. Now the plants can all stay put on the patio until the cold rains start, then most will go into the greenhouse for the winter. I picked some new flowers for the house.
Today, Thursday, I attended a gathering of the McMicken Lunch Bunch. It has been about a year since we all got together. All but one of us have retired and we all worked at McMicken Heights Elementary at one time or another.
That young one in front that can still get up off the floor is Chris, our principal when I and others of us retired. She took time off from her now district administrative job to join us. When I saw these two standing together I jumped at the chance to get a photo of us together, the three Lindas. There was even a fourth Linda for a while. We had to use our last names in conversations, so I am forever known as Linda Reeder. It was a fun time seeing and visiting with old friends. Teachers make friends for life.
Visiting with old friends is great fun. We had two Olsons. So one was big O and the other one was Little O. Big O passed away in July.
ReplyDeleteYou had an even dozen turn up for your get-togetherđź’— Old friends are precious and to be cherished.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a lot of fun. Love your pretty sunflowers,
ReplyDeleteLooks like your lunch bunch was a wonderful group. That danger garden definitely looks dangerous. Well done Tom!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great group of teachers! Such pretty sunflowers:)
ReplyDeleteHow nice! Love the photos!
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right that teachers are friends for life. I have a text chat group of 9 teachers in Illinois. Well... 8 actually, since I'm here in Hawaii. It's wonderful "talking" to them almost everyday. These are such wonderful photos, Linda. You can see the love.
