Comments: Got 96%...big Chryslers and Desotos confuse me..thats where I messed up..
Comments: 69% on 73% average. Considering I had no idea on much of it - not bad. The ones I had absolutely no idea on and guess the entire thing, I would get 4 out of 4. Is that weird or what. So how did you do Lynell. I am sure you nailed it!
Comments: Hey, Kids. Want to test your memory of the cars we grew up with? http://www.americantorque.com/game/car-show-50s/ Cynthia, sorry about getting your year wrong. See how you do on the car test.
Comments: You are welcome Lynell. Last I remember I have a lot friends from the class of 64 and enjoyed their reunion but I did manage to graduate a year later in 65. I am the baby to this class as 63 was the mighty Seniors at the time I arrived. LOL With you Lynell, God bless and protect America and our citizens everywhere in the world as another chapter of 911 goes forth.
Comments: Heck, Sharon, have you seen ME lately? haaaa.
Comments: God Bless America!
Comments: Lynelle, have you seen Fabio lately? He has not aged well. Sorry I missed the luncheon. My mom and sis and I had to go to east Texas. Hopefully, I can make the next one.
Comments: The luncheon was a great time - thanks to the photo group-ies Lynell, Lonnie, and Cynthia - we can all share in the fun. These luncheons provide a great time to catch up with everyone!
Comments: Many thanks to Cynthia Huse, also from '64, for sending her pictures from yesterday. That young girl has a steadier hand than I do with these cameras. You can see her contribution by clicking the Images page, then April 2011 Luncheon. Top righ is a button that will produce a slide show. Cynthia's pics start after Lonnie's photo of downtown Big D. I'm too tired to type in the names, but I'll bet you can figure it out. Thanks a million, Cynthia.
Comments: Lonnie Harmon sent me his pictures from yesterday! They're added to the Images page. If you run the Slideshow, Lonnie's photos start after the sidewalk star picture. If you're on Facebook and have not seen his video from yesterday (featuring Lonnie's original music!) be sure you go over there and look at it. It's really well done! My take on the Royals is that Diana didn't realize marrying Charles was just a job, and a hard one at that. Camilla seems more Charle's type than the 19-year old Diana was. Di may have read too many romance novels, since her grandmother wrote them. I believe Princess Kate is more worldly than her late mother-in-law was as a bride, and at least the couple has known one another for a while. Diana in an interview with Babawawa said she had had a "romance" while married because, quote, "We were in love." I thought, especially because she had children, that was a bad thing to announce. Heck, I've been in love with Fabio for years, but I don't think there's ever gonna be any romance. And if there were, I wouldn't blab about it on TV. ha.
Comments: Fun to see the pics of the party and looks like a happy group! C'mon...How soon we forget...... Charles wasn't allowed to marry Camilla because she would be a divorced woman..How Ironic is that?????...D and Charles had no friends in common...she was 20 and he was, well, in his 30s....D was naive and so are her boys and most of us to think that C was in love with D when they married....she was chosen of course...the royal line HAD to continue ya know. Too bad for the boys and the worshipers that D didn't understand that the royals stay hush hush about about scandal and keep their positions for the good of the people....heh heh heh!
Comments: Lynell - you should get the photos tomorrow. My GREAT niece and nephew kinda wore me out after the luncheon for a wonderful afternoon but I am zapped. It was a fun time due to all the wonderful people that came and made the event wonderful. Loved it and missed a lot of folks that could not make it this time but there will be more - soon I hope. Interesting Kathleen - had not heard that about Di's friends being struck. You know the Queen still looks pretty perky and her mother lived to be around 100 so Charles may or may not make another 15 years. Bless her heart for a long life - hope the Queen's heart holds up well enough that the adorable Will and Kate make the round after her. Just never liked a guy that would not honor his wedding vows. If he wanted Camilla, he just should not have married Diana - but then we would not have had this wonderful Will and Harry. Enough of my commentary.
Comments: Phil, you're so kind!
Comments: Great photos Lynell!
Comments: The pictures I took at today's luncheon are posted. Go to the Images page of www.soc63.com and click the top button. This will lead you to Smugmug, and if you click the Slideshow button in the top right, they'll do a slideshow for you. I apologize ahead of time for all the names I messed up. If you'll e-mail me, I'll fix them. Also, one SOCite - a nice brunette lady at the end of our table - I reeeelly goofed up on your picture. My apologies to you! I hope Lonnie or Cynthia got a good one of you. Also, I forgot to take one of myself, but you know what I look like. Cynthia and Lonnie, if you'll send me your pictures, I'll add them. Great time today, folks! If you were not there, we missed you.
Comments: WOWIE, CYNTHIA! That was a great SOC luncheon, and great choice of restaurants. David and I both luuuv El Fenix. My food was yummy, and the waiters did a superb job! I'm working on the pix now, and will post them later today.
Comments: The royal wedding was a blast. All the men decked out in their military uniforms. They were wearing so many medals their left shoulder was lower than the right. You would think they were decorated in every war in the last 100 years. I wonder if they actually earned these medals?--Mike
Comments: Cynthia, I heard just the opposite that Camilla sat down with a red pen and marked all of Princess Diana's friends off the guest list. They also said that Camilla lets everyone know that she is going to be the next queen. It seems even the Royal Family has their own internal conflicts. I thought the Royal wedding came off beautifully.
Comments: Kathleen - I heard a few weeks ago the royal family would not appreciate her being there so she was left off the guest list. I think built some bridges that could not be mended over the years. Fergie was pretty independent and outspoken. I also heard that while the Princes are friendly with Camilla, they also did not invite any of her personal friends to any of the events. Never have quite gotten over her being the other woman to their Mom. Oh well, on to the next Brit event. Likely the next generation coming along. Kate's MIL set a high standard for protecting her boys so it will be interesting to see what type of parents these young royals will be. Great I bet. They are so compassionate about people in general and down to earth it seems.
Comments: Cynthia, I thought it was funny how Fergie's daughters captured so much attention with their outlandish attire, especially their hats. They looked like they had just stepped out of "Alice in Wonderland." They managed to sit behind their grandmother, the Queen. So, every time the camera focussed on the Queen you could see her granddaughters. Maybe at the next royal wedding someone should consider inviting their mother.
Comments: You are so funny Jud and classy! Lynell, I think the hat you are speaking of was worn by one of Andrew and Fergie's daughters. I could not imagine how in the world she kept it on. And I sure could not figure out what it was supposed to represent. Interesting to see. Wonder how many in the audience could not see anything due to the hats....
Comments: (man's opinion) I only saw 3-4 minutes of wedding while getting ready for work. Have never seen such a gaggle of frumpy, dowdy women! In atrocious hats! I prefer our beautiful, classy SOC women.
Comments: There were so many beautiful hats in one place! Don't you know the milliners were excited. I didn't care for the one worn by one of the royals that looked like a piece of pink wrought iron grillework, but most were lovely. I hope the newlyweds have a long and happy marriage. This could be a challenge, living under under a magnifying lens like they will have to do. In honor of the wedding, we plan to watch The King's Speech on DirecTV this evening. I've seen it, but my husband has not. It's so well done that it's worth a second view.
Comments: Lynell, I enjoyed watching the Royal Wedding but sure hated it on the way to work when I felt I was heading the wrong way. I may be German but those Brits sure know how to put on a show. It was a lovely wedding. She looks like she was born for the position and much more at ease than her husband. Well, tomorrow we have our own Royal SOC event - tat tat. Come on out to El Fenix and wear your reunion badge if you can find it. Looking forward to seeing as many as can make it tomorrow.
Comments: Lynelle: Steve told me there was at least one Texan amid the throng in London. He was holding up a Texas flag! I looked at some pictures a few minutes ago, and I haven't seen that many hats since the Kentucky Derby. They really take their hats seriously.
Comments: While watching the wedding coverage, I heard this from a British announcer: In the small Texas village of Grapevine, all 1400 residents are viewing the ceremony on television. I wonder what the other 44,934 people in Grapevine are up to. Hopefully, sleeping in.
Comments: We have WILD pigs on our property in Austin County....they wreak havoc on our land! Recently we had a father/son team and their dogs come and catch a few. Thankfully, these guys do it for a hobby so we just call them and they come and bring their dog team with trailers etc. WHOA!
Comments: Sharon, I'm still around .Read the Guest book daily. I have a home in Rockwall and a ranch up here. Started off with the deer 2 years ago. Didn't see them every time I went out so I'm raising them to eventually release. MY son hunts but we really want to have a lot of wildlife on the ranch. We have deer ,to many pigs ,turkey.and the buffalo. I spend most of my tome up here.304 acres keeps you busy. I still cruise every year so I can dive. Just returned from Cozumel,Grand Cayman,and Jamaica were I went zip lining.Now that's fun!!!!!
Comments: If you don't know, the eaglets were taken from the nest this morning. The raptor specialists were afraid of other flying predators while dad was away hunting and fishing. They thought it in the best interest of the eaglets to remove them to safety. This was so sad and hopefully, dad will move on and find another mate soon.
Comments: David did live in that area several years ago, and had a law practice there, but I'm not sure if he's still there. |
