Hi, Trudy! We did have a wonderful time today! There were at least 20 of us and we met in our little town and held the lunch at what was the mayor's house when we were growing up. Now you can have lunch and dinner there, the original wallpaper is still there, old photos and all sorts of antiques and wonderful gifts that you can buy. I just love going to places like that and it felt so good to be 'home'. Both of my sisters were there and also my cousin who spent so much time with us growing up. I'm doing the scrapbook for everyone and they all like seeing the photos from each luncheon. Such fun and so worth the trip and effort to go!! Talk about making memories..j -------Original Message------- From: Trudy Ogilvie Date: 4/8/2009 4:58:30 PM To: jrushton Cc: tmic Subject: Re: [TMIC] Lack of Communication Jeanne have a fantastic time. Our 45th High School reunion is in October and my husband and I are going since we graduated together way back in 1964! I only missed the 40th.... I was still trying to get my life back together after TM hit. But definitely looking forward to this reunion. So again, have a blast!!!! Trudy

I'm so glad we're back in business as I miss you all when we take our 'naps as we do off and on. I'm off to stay with my little Sis for a couple nights so we can meet up with my big Sis and go to our monthly '60's Chicks' luncheon in Grandview which is where we graduated from. All Grandview 'chicks' no matter what year they graduated try to meet and we have lunch, chat for a couple hours and off we go. It is really a special time as we have all learned how special life is and is not to be taken for granted. Some we haven't seen since graduation or longer. Take care, all!

Sounds like everyone is really ready for SPRING! I am really ready to dig my hands into the dirt and get my flower pots ready for summer. I can't plant in the ground anymore, but I sure go nuts with my pots! We have already planted pansies and they are looking great. Won't be long for spring. Got another question for you all. Do you have a problem with all of a sudden getting too hot - and no one else is? It isn't hot flashes, had a complete hysterectomy over 20 years ago. This just started since TM (2007). My doc has given me patches of clonidine. You change it every week and it does help - doesn't cure it, but it helps. I am dreading warm, humid weather because that is when it is the worst. We live in Missouri and the summers get pretty warm and humid. But we keep our house pretty cool in the winter too. I really notice it when I am more active. What about you all? I have only been on the site a couple of months, but I really miss your chatting" when it is quiet. I know every one of us has a lot to deal with some more than others. But, when we are emailing, we are all on level ground and getting to know the real person, not just the TM person. I have many friends, but I count myself very fortunate to have found you all. Janice
