Comments: If you vote in Texas, the name on your voter registration card will need to match the name on your photo ID. I checked, and mine didn't because of a pesky first name that is only in the voter records. Contact your county voter registration office for a form, or pick one up at the post office. I printed my form from the Dallas County Voter website.
Comments: Hello former classmates. I am living the good life in Austin (actually, Georgetown). Hope to see you soon.
Comments: I really need those of you that have NOT booked your room yet do it THIS week. Only 33 have been reserved by all of you. I have 40 blocked but will need at least 11 more rooms. Until they get more reservations the hotel can not give me those rooms. They need to know they will be used. Please, please do not make me have to call you. There just is not enough time for me to do that. Also, if you are planning on coming PLEASE send me your information sheet and money. The directory is being finalized, tee shirt orders need to be ordered by the 27th of September. It is a short time before we celebrate our 50th Reunion. I need to not be doing STUFF at the last minute PLEASE. Your committee has been very organized and on top of things but final details need to be made now. Thanks. I can feel the excitement in the air. WOW, I still can not believe it has been 50 years. It is going to be so much FUN!!!!!! Those who are not coming will miss out on so many memories, excitement and seeing treasured friends. We have become an even closer class through all these years. Those who are not 63 are always welcomed. Those that are coming are our dear friends also. I have enjoyed getting to know my classmates even better as adults. We have had some great times together.
Comments: Feeding tubes can be ok. My mother-in-law got one three weeks ago, and says the feeding liquid keeps her from getting hungry or thirsty, and she doesn't miss eating her favorite foods because she does not get hungry or thirsty. And of course it is a very well-balanced diet. Plus, she operates on the belief that if your hand or foot offends you, cut it off; if your eye offends you, pluck it out; and if your epiglottis offends you, subterfuge it with a feeding tube. Here's hoping all our parents can be safe and comfortable in their remaining years.
Comments: Thanks Brenda. Poor Lorraine. No one wants to live like that. She and Peaches are in my prayers.
Comments: Charlotte...Loraine sleeps most of the time..thank God she is not in any pain. Still has to be on the feeding tube which is very depressing to her and Peaches. She is not a complainer...still has hope to get better. At the age of 91 it is just a day at a time but she knows her daughter is there with her every day. I am sure she is comforted by that.
Comments: Brenda, I am so glad you were able to spend time with Peaches. Also, that you for able to get her to relax Two hours or so. Thank you for letting us know. She must be so stressed. Did she say how Lorraine is doing?
Comments: I spent part of the day with Peaches yesterday. Got her to slow down long enough to have lunch and relax for at least a couple of hours. She has so much on her plate right now..working full time..moving her mother's things from her apartment and spending part of every day at the nursing home with her mother...and working on the reunion...she amazes me but I encouraged her to be sure she is taking care of herself. Such a giving and loving person...love you Peaches!!!!
Comments: Awwwwww, Doug. And Ginger can sing. I recognized the tune to the Meow Mix commercial.
Comments: Lynell and Ginger, you girls are the "cat's meow"
Comments: The Main Street of Steamboat...looks a lot like Silverton, Co... I think maybe the Utes should stage a 'sit-in' and take back the town..
Comments: Meiow, Meow, Meow, Meow...Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow......etc. etc.... 
Comments: Never enough cat news, JS. Never enough.
Comments: Ginger, re: "Steamboat" - just Google it. Doug: That's enough "cat news". Some of us are trying to keep our lunch down.
Comments: But....does it have a Steamboat or has it ever had a Steamboat..? I lived where there were actually 'Steamboats'....and rode on them occasionally... I always enjoyed steamboat rides, except for the Field Trip we took with Kindergarteners.. It was the little girl that I had to constantly hold on to so...she wouldn't 'jump ship'. There was also that other Field Trip to the Bread Bakery and I had to hold her back so she wouldn't stick her head on the conveyor belt..! Oh, the memories... I still like Steamboats and I do relate them to 'The DEEP SOUTH'. That's why I asked... I've wondered 'why' the mountainous town in Colorado...was named Steamboat.. Mark Twain could probably write a funny story about that..! 
Comments: Lynell is correct about the name..here is a little info: The name Steamboat Springs is certainly fitting for a town with over 150 mineral springs in the local area. Before the arrival of the first pioneer settlers, the Ute Indians made Steamboat their summer home. The Utes believed the local springs had the power to rejuvenate strength & spirit, and they often visited the springs after battles. Once the pioneer settlers arrived and word spread about the hot springs in Steamboat, trains began to bring visitors seeking the same power of the hot springs as the Utes. I have not visited ALL of the springs!!!
Comments: Lynell, On the subject of musical cats, our cat is orange with white markings. On his left side the markings look like "YO". So we named the cat "YO". Well, that did not take long to morph into "YO YO MEOW". And, by the way, my cat sends regards to all '63 SOCites. Isn't that purrfect ?
Comments: hello everyone,thanks for the info on Steamboat Springs. looks like I a started some thing with the request to Charlote. Im in Delta Pa. Visiting my sister until this next Wednesday. To all of you in Texas it was 60 degressmost of the day.im having to wear a hoodie to keep warm.,Keep,cool everyone!
Comments: Doug, my husband finds your comment about my "always" being right downright hilarious. Ginger, I goggled it and somebody thought a spring made a sound like a steamboat. I think my cat sounds like Pavoratti, especially at five o'clock in the morning. Maybe we should change his name.
Comments: Why is it called Steamboat..?? I've lived in two towns in the South on rivers...Mississippi and the Cumberland. Also visited New Orleans more than once.. They have Steamboats there.. But why is a town in Colorado called Steamboat..?
Comments: Oh yes, I didn't mention Rabbit Ears. The coolest sign ever!!! There is a rock formation near Steamboat that is named Rabbit Ears Pass ....Thus the name of the motel. Not sure about staying there, but it is right downtown.
Comments: Lynell, As usual, you are correct. On the other hand, one could say it is neither ear nor there. Or would it be neither hare nor there ?
Comments: Thanks, Doug. Was I right, or what?
Comments: http://www.rabbitearsmotel.com/?gclid=CJW_w7-1ybkCFYhAMgodUz4AKA
Comments: But the Rabbit Ears Motel has the coolest neon sign.
Comments: Gosh, I don't know where you should stay. The Hampton Inn is good here....I don't know how much you want to spend on a room. There are many good restaurants. Harwigs is good...Mambo Italiano is good for casual Italian, Creek Side or The Shack for breakfast. Sweetwater is on the river. Freshies is good for breakfast or lunch. Saketumi is great for sushi. Cafe Diva is upscale wonderful$$$$$. . EVERYTHING is casual...this is Steamboat. I won't be here in October and will miss most of the fall color. Boooo!!!
Comments: Charlotte, Im in Colorado in October.I have never been to Steamboat Springs.Have you any recommendations on where to stay,eat,or play? I will be driving over from Estes Park for a day or two.Thanks
Comments: Sharon, I'm sure it has changed. But, it is still very beautiful And most important, cool!!!!!!!!
Comments: Charlotte, I am glad you aren't in harms way. I've been through Steamboat Springs many, many years ago. It was really beautiful back then and I hope it hasn't changed too much. I'll bet you are enjoying every second of the lovely, cool weather!
Comments: No, i am in Steamboat Springs. Boulder is South east of me and north west of Denver. We NEED rain. But not all at once. Sigh! |
