Ginger, just a suggestion, but if you can't read a light-colored post on here, just "select" it and the background will turn blue. At least it does on my screen.

It's a spectacularly good-weather day in Dallas, too! We need a day like this every now and then.
Sandy Norman Lynn gave me a CD with a BUNCH of SOC luncheon pictures on it. I'm hoping to have the time/energy to get them onto this website soon. They go back to about 2003.

Char...write in Blue or Black..That is very hard to read. I'm not thankful for yellow print...Erma Bombeck use to talk about writing notes to her kids' teachers on Toilet Paper with a yellow crayon..It's not a pretty site.. Well, maybe for Daffodils... Have a nice week...

The weather down this way is spectacular. We have cool nights and sunny, mid 70 days...how much better could it be??
I've had reports that Jerry's memorial was very nice....how could it be anything else? He was such a nice guy.
I have so many things to be thankful for and to remember this Thanksgiving...my life, my friends, my family, love, laughter, liberty, what health I do have. I'm sure there is more too.

I am so sorry to hear of Jerry's passing. I wish that I could be at the service and give Pat a hug. I am thankful for the Vessels' wonderful contributions over the years, not only to our 1963 class, but to others, as well. One special program ended in the song, "Happy Trails to You". I am remembering that today, with tears. God bless, and Rest in Peace, Jerry.

I thought of two songs when I heard of Jerry's passing. One was from ABBA, "I have a Dream" and the other was a country western song by Jeff Bridges, "There's a Brand New Angel". He was SOC's angel, a gift to us all and will be truly missed. God Bless Pat and the Vessels for all their many gifts of love, not just to South Oak Cliff, but to all their special friends and family and anyone they have come in contact with. A blessed couple and blessed friends forever.

Our first day back with the friends from soc was at Peaches house in Keesler park. We had gone to get info for the first soc cruise. Jerry was the first to greet Monica and I after introducing himself he ask which class I was from. I said 64 he smiled and said do you remember Gary Leverett's number on the football team. I said number 30 and he said yeah you are from soc. Jerry and Pat were always so kind and so giving that is what I will always remember. We will miss him here, someday I'll see Jerry again..I wonder what he'll ask me next time he sees me.

Today, on the eve of Mary's 68th birthday and after a month of alternate weepiness and outright laughter remembering the tragic moments all the way back to highschool and the wonderful moments of joy over the past fifty-some-odd years I now am confronted with the loss of another person who exemplifies what I, in my quiet moments, wish I was more like. There is an old saying that goes something like "It's not what you say or what you do but how you make someone feel". In all my moments and times with Jerry there was always a "feeling" of compassion, understanding, gentleness and Jerry was, most importantly, kind to me. His kindness will always be remembered. Pat, I am so sorry.

why does the sun keep shining, why does the sea rush to shore, don't they know it's the end of the world, Because Jerry is not here any more. ...Sweet dreams my sweet prince, and
save a place for me to join you one day.
God is laughing with you and I know you
are telling Him about the songs you love.
47 Years is not enough - my love and my life.

Yep, Had Migas in Austin, too. Forgot about those.. Have to google...Migas... Happy cooking (Jacques Pepin) or eating......

Charlotte, they do migas in taco form at Tacos y Mas, and they have several yummy salsas they make fresh every day. When I make migas at home, it's on a plate. I think it must be a generic term, like "soup." I've never seen migas the same way twice.

Our brunch came from Tacos Y Mas. Deeelicious migas tacos on corn tortillas, for $1.79 each, and the best part was I didn't have to deal with raw eggs before noon  !
