Last weekend Hubby and I went to his 40th High school class reunion. It was in Satellite Beach Florida. I don't think there is any other reunion like it.
Friday night was a social gathering with a disc jockey and appetizers. It was so much fun watching them dance.
Saturday morning was a paddle out and memorial which I had never seen before. It was a beautiful ceremony.
After the memorial we had our own time. At four was the 'reunion" There was a meal of hot dogs and hamburgers and everyone again socialized. It went way over the expected end time.
If I don't know people I wouldn't call myself a social butterfly. It was my Hubby's classmates and unlike him I don't just go up to someone and start talking so I stayed at the table most of the time.
Alone.
But that is okay. It was my Hubby's time. I thought it was ironic that through the months before he was a little anxious because he kept saying he probably wouldn't know anyone. Obviously he did.
Everyone had a good time. I met some good people. I can now put a face to a name. Yahoo!
Did I mention it was hot? I have to admit Florida's heat and humidity wasn't as bad as Louisiana's. The beach breeze was a life saver.
One of my Hubby's former classmates said your goal for a reunion is to meet at least one person. She was right.
Until next time...

Hi new friend!��
ReplyDeleteHey new friend! It was a pleasure to meet you and I enjoyed our conversation. Wish I could have talked to Brooke more.
DeleteI am also one who tends to sit back and watch and that's okay with me. However, my husband is like that too, so we're not social butterflies. I'm glad you had a good time and thank goodness for ocean breezes.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was grateful for the ocean breeze. My Hubby is more outspoken and can blend in any situation.
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I'm so glad I got to meet you. I think if we had been in a cooler environment it would've been better. Look forward to seeing you next time!
