Boat trip, day 1, spirit

Why does visiting a water feature stimulate our mind, body and spirit?

Who doesn’t love being near water?

We have this connection daily. Our back porch pool is enough to stimulate this water phenomenon.

Four parents originally and randomly connected by high school classmates. Now connected by a decade-plus-ago introduction, and consistently frequent get-togethers.

What was it like to attend Cheryl’s 50th High School reunion?

Pretty good.

Spiritual?

No.

Emotional?

Totally.

Bases-loaded home run if you ask me.

Quote
This one hit me as a BFO (blinding flash of the obvious).

How will i prepare for the third-day 50th High School reunion finale picnic?

First and foremost, i’m bringing my (our) signature Disney Magic.

Mine will be discreet.

Cheryl’s will be unmistakable!

This is Cheryl’s time to shine.

i am in the shadows, grateful to witness Cheryl’s loving-genius.

Ps. i will lead with quiet and steadfast support.

Early Summer Trip day 6, spirit

Two seniors setting up for yard sale
Saturday morning group yard sale near Allentown Fairgrounds.

What memories do i think will happen from this three-day 50th High School reunion?

Well, it’s Saturday. Last night’s arena entrance to usher in the 2026 Dierfuff Huskies graduation class was incredible.

The arena seats 8,500 people.

This morning we are helping Cheryl’s cousin Michael, pictured above, set up his first ever community yard sale stand at a local, iconic restaurant parking lot. Ringer’s Roost is across from the Allentown Fairgrounds.

i will remember that.
