I had a wonderful weekend connecting with old friends from high school, it was my thirty year class reunion, Yikes.....when I say that it makes me feel old! I wasn't sure I was going to go, it was my hubs that said, you should go, you loved high school, and you had a lot friends......I'm sure you all have been through the doubts of attending old school functions, I look old, I look fat, I wear glasses, no one will recognize me, what if "my" friends aren't there......the whole thing, well, I gotta tell ya, it was a blast, I think it was the best one to date, I hadn't been since the five year, I actually think the girls looked better than the guys, I thought it might be the opposite so I was pleasantly surprised!
On Saturday my mom and I and my friend Becky from High School hit the thrift stores in the Walnut Creek area, they have some great ones.....I found some darling things to add to my booth at Junkee's and some fantastic mirrors to add to the collection at 41 Taylor.
It was a fun weekend of catching up, remembering old friends and the good times we had in High School!
Ohh Tracey that sounds so nice for you and your mom sounds like a sweety. Are you doing your booth solo now. Love the pics of your house looks really cozy and I am going to try to find the color of the paint in your dining room for my kitchen thx for getting back to me.

What a cool paisley case. I say "Work it, Girl." I know your friends just love you exactly how you are.

Had to laugh about all the doubts you faced about attending your 30th high school reunion. You're still young. I just attended my 50th!! Same fears about letting others see the older/heavier version of me but it was wonderful to see all those "older" folks - ha. Yep, the guys looked older than the women (aren't we lucky to have make up and hair dye??) At the 50th reunion the classmates were just happy to still be kickin so they didn't care what anyone looked like -- we just had to look closely at the name tags to recognize each other! Love the paisley wig case.

Trace, First, you are not old! I'm old! Such a delight to spend time with you this past weekend and I really enjoyed talking with Jim. So glad you had such a good time at your Reunion, I thought you would. You are so much fun to be with and talk to, I'm sure your old friends remembered that too. I look forward to our next Thrifting outing. My love always, Mom

I'm so glad you had *fun*! I just went to my 30th also...and yes, I thought the girls looked better (except the *super-thin* ones they looked older!).

I so enjoy your transparency Tracey; the vulnerable honestly in your writings. As you pondered whether to go or not I dare to guess that would HAVE to be EVERY gal's reaction (at least in their true, blue, Reunion of a secret self), BUT, I just luv it that you went,-- you conquered AND above all -- had a stunner of a time! No surprise to us Tracey---nope, no surprise at ALL!! :o)
God Bless,
Barbra.
