We've been busier the first half of this month than we have in the last couple of months.
On the 8th I took Tinker in to the vet for his annual checkup and shots. He weighed 22 lbs., so the weight management dog food he's eating is helping him hold his weight.
Fletcher drove up for a visit for Mother's Day and he took us out for dinner. We went to Woody's Bar-B-Q and Fletcher had their Bacon Cheddar Burger and Fried Okra and Mike and I ordered the smoked turkey bar-b-q sandwich. Fletcher really likes their fried okra which he has learned to eat since he's been on his own.
I attended the May IRGS (genealogical society) meeting on the 12th where two of the members presented talks - one on Discoveries in the Cemetery and one on using Evernote - both very interesting and informative. That was our last meeting until this September.
I'm still working on putting together my packet of documents for Mike, Fletcher and Chris to receive their Florida State Pioneer Descendants Certificate from the Florida State Genealogical Society. I'm spending every free moment working on this.
My high school class reunion was held on the 15th & 16th in Lake Worth. It was our 51st reunion since no reunion was planned for last year which would have been our 50th year.
We had asked our next door neighbors who they had for a dog sitter and Lilly said instead of
hiring a dog sitter, she would take care of Tinker for the one night that we would be gone. We had Lilly and Terry over for coffee the day before we left to go over Tinker's routine and what he ate and when.
Friday afternoon (May 15) Mike and I drove down to the La Quinta on Okeechobee Road in West Palm Beach where we had reservations for Friday night for my reunion. We had originally thought about bringing Tinker and leaving him in the motel room, but we were
afraid he would bark the whole time we were gone and that is why he stayed home.
The reunion was held at the Beach Club at the Lake Worth Golf Course. We arrived a little after 6 p.m. at the restaurant. We had a buffet dinner for $18 each (I paid back in April). I saw several classmates that I remembered, but all of my closest friends from high school weren't there that night. After we ate and visited with several classmates, Mike and I left about 7:30 and went back to the motel. There was to be a dinner and dance on Saturday night for our class plus a couple of other classes who were also having reunions. Mike and I had decided that we would just attend the Friday night function.
We drove back home this morning after checking out of La Quinta ($73.92 for the room). Tinker was really glad to see us when we got home. Lilly came over not too long after we got home to check on him. She said Tinker acted so lonely when she came over to feed or walk him, that she would sit on the sofa and give him some lovin' and talk to him.
This afternoon we went to Home Depot and bought a Knock-out rose bush as a thank you for Lilly for taking care of Tinker overnight. When we got back to the house, we walked over to Terry & Lilly's and gave her the rose bush.
