Hi everyone-  I havn't posted on here very often or maybe not at all..  Class lunch at Pizza Hut was really good.  I am looking forward to warm weather again.  Lots of flowers blooming in my yard. 

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Sorry I missed the luncheon...wanted to see everyone and catch up on the latest news. where & when is the next luncheon? AND, what's the latest news?

Nan Nelson (Hays)

And you were missed Linda Lu !   There were 10 of us and the conversation was flowing.  Of course we are all so saddened by the passing of our classmate, Kay. 

 Our gardens are growing and that finds me outside allot...that is for sure.  My roses and lillies are coming on like gang busters.  And then I  " feel the need"  to fill my pots up with annuals and put in a perrenial in any empty spaces in my beds, ha-ha !  Just wish the ole body would cooperate and stop aching... this aging thing gets in the way, ha-ha!

 Next  one is  at the Big Muddy in Burlington on the 28th.  Will be nice to catch up with you then...take care.

Hugs,Nancy

Thanks, Sharon for the encouraging call this morning, enjoyed chatting w/you. Have cleared next Thurs. for the luncheon, am hoping things go fine & I can make it for Mary's great food. Have heard so much about her cooking. I miss seeing everyone the last few months...Linda 

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Wonderful June luncheon at Sharon's house. Mary fixed enchalata's and rice...everything tasted very good. Mary is a great cook. Would like to thank Sharon for opening her home for the classmates, you are very generous. Was great to see everyone again but there were a few missing. We always enjoy visiting and catching up w/each other. We all look great....I left early so not sure where we're meeting next month. Karan is good about letting everyone know the plans.

HAPPY 4TH FROM SOUTHERN CA!

Nice beach weather.  I am working in the morning at my office and then going to my girlfriend's for wine and seafood this evening.  She lives in Huntington Harbor and we can see fireworks from Long Beach Queen Mary, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach Piers from her Duffy Boat.

Taking my new puppy, Muffin, a 8 wk old Boston Terrier..  I have had her a week and I need to spend some more time in the gym to keep up with her.  She is a real love!  I haven't had an animal for 16 yrs since I had to put my beloved, Tootsi, also a BT, down.  She was 17 at the time.

Was hoping to get back to Ft Madison this summer or fall but I have a very busy work/seminar season coming up so maybe next year BUT for sure 2016 for the 55th!   I would want to try and be there during one of one of your luncheons.  Soulds like so much fun!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

How was the luncheon today? I intended to be there, but we had company about 10, it was our 2 great-grandchildren. So, I HAD to stay & play w/them. Plus, it was very hot today, & I don't like the heat. I'm thinking about snow already!!! My theroy is:  You can only take off so many clothes & go out in public. 

Hope everyone had a good time catching up w/each other. What's all the latest news, who all was there, & where & when is next month's luncheon???

Linda

Sharon Tincher (Scholl-Nabulsi)

WE HOPE LARRY IS PROGRESSING AND WE KEEP YOU AND LARRY IN OUR PRAYERS. NEXT MEETING IS ON THE 30TH AT PIZZA HUT. WE ARE ALSO GOING AT 4 P.M TO THE LULAC ON THE 18TH AS MARY MENDEZ SAID THAT THEY ARE DOING TACOS AND ENCHILADAS THAT DAY. HOPE TO SEE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE. TAKE CARE AND SEE YOU SOON!!

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

THANK YOU to all who made the trip to Lake Hill Winery, in Carthage, IL yesterday to help Larry & I celebrate our 50th. anniversary. We appreciated it very much. Patsy & Bob VanPelt came from MN, Sandi Philips came from Ames, and Cyndy Savage intended to come, too, but last min. change of plans. It's great to have so many awesome friends. Our family made it all possible. Lisa lives here in Hamilton, our son Lamar & family came from Austin, TX, and Lori from Nashville, TN. One grandson just moved to Seattle, WA and a granddaughter from Memphis, TN were unable to be here, but other grandson & 2 granddaughters were here, plus 2 great-grandchildren. We feel so blessed...

Larry & Linda (Kirchner) Schrader

Marcia Conley (Davis)

CONGRATULATIONS!  50 years!  Only in the Midwest does that happen.  Although I am going to a 50th Celebration for a client the end of the month but they are originally from Texas.

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Thanks so much Marcia, it was a wonderful day. We enjoyed every minute. Was nice to see friends from HS. Several other couples in our class have already celebrated 50 yrs. together. Take care...Linda

Terry Schmidt (Bedord)

Linda, happy anniversary.  So happy for you and Larry.  And to have most of your family with you also.  I am praying all the time for Larry's health and recovery.  The best to both of you.  T

Linda Kirchner (Schrader)

Just got a call this morning,  from a sweetheart classmate to check on us. She had planned to attend our celebration, but at the last minute things changed. Great to know lots of classmates, family & friends are praying. We very much appreciate concerns, prayers, and everything people do for us. It proves we are very blessed.

Thanks Cyndy.....Linda
