CARMEN LEE--LIFE IS NOT A VACATION, IT IS A JOURNEY

Day 66, "Every picture has a story"

Janet in 1955 ?

Helen in 1967

Joan in 1959

As you can see the picture today is 3.  All 3 of Mom's daughters were high school homecoming queens and Mom was so proud of that.  Janet went to Lidgerwood High School as there were no buses in those days and even though Cayuga had a high school it would have meant driving to and from each day.  I don't think Mom and Dad ever had more than one car.  I know when Ronald played legion ball in Lidgerwood there were times he drove the truck in to play!  Joan was in the first graduation class of Sargent Central and was the homecoming queen.  Helen, the baby of the family, was in the graduating class of 1968.  As for the boys in the family they did a lot of things but not on the "famous" side.  For me, the closest I every came to fame was, as the captain of the football team ,I got to crown Nancy at half time and even kissed her on the cheek!  I am not sure but I MAY have been the only boy to kiss her in HS!

Terry's party was a smashing success yesterday.  One gal could not make it because she was not feeling well and another had major car problems and could not get home until she bought a different car!  I think she got home after dark.  Well she could have gotten home without a new car but really, $6000 to fix her old one did not make sense.  Anyway Terry had a fantastic spread of goodies and drinks.  I had planned to go out and about during the party but one of the women had parked in our driveway and I could not get the car out.  So what did I do?  I holed up in the guest bedroom and read wood magazines.  I could tell by the high volume of chatter that everyone was having a great time.  I even was able to sneak some goodies after about half the women had left.  

Tennis at 10:30 this morning.  I have been playing well the last few times.  One guy on my team sent a text and said he felt I was playing at the level of my play before I got hurt or better even.  He said, "Welcome back!"  Nice to hear of course.  So what may happen today, maybe a big let down!

No I would like to get a few things done and then go over to the courts a bit early.  My FP was OK but not great today.  I made 2 pots yesterday for the ladies and I don't think they drank any so this morning it was warmed up FP which, of course, is better than Mom's instant Folgers any day!!!
