Today is also my 50th high school reunion. It's taking place
in Newport Beach. Sorta wonder why it's down there and not in the San Gabriel
Valley where we lived. Oh well... Our class was the S'63 Delphians... from
Woodrow Wilson High School in El Sereno. Have fun kids, wish I was there! I look
forward to the photos of the event!
PICTURE of the day...

...Interesting, Fess Parker who played Davy on TV was born

Yesterday I took Maggie in to the vets for x-rays. He wanted to find out
why she is always panting. I was a nervous wreck all day and sad that I may lose
my Maggie. Went back at 5pm and he showed me the x-rays. Maggie has chronic
bronchitis ... or COPD! OMG.
She will be on Prednisone. He was as amazed as I was that she didn't have
any other problems...like growths in her body or lungs, etc. Six more months she
will be 15!
I spent some of the time yesterday getting the items ready to box up to
send to Casey in Afghanistan...
This are part of the items... Cup of Soup, Raman Noodles, Rice Krispie
Treats, nuts, nasal spray, lip balm, deodorant, stomach relief tablets, eye
drops, wipes, pumpkin seeds, Band-Aids, sunflower seeds, cough drops, hard
candy, gum, and Slim Jims. Most of this is boxed and I have to fill out the
customs forms for each box.
All I know. JCRW Annual Ronald Reagan BBQ today at an historic local farm, Handley Farm.
It is to raise monies for our Education Fund. We supply copies of the
Constitution to 9th graders and flags for classrooms.
Happy Saturday. Ciao.
