Palmam qui meruit ferat*

Here are the Junior and Senior Kindergarten classes of Mary Institute in 1960-61. (Click on the picture to enlarge it.)
I am the dark-haired squirt in the middle of the front row. There are 23 of us in the Jr. K class. Fourteen of us original girls graduated in a class of fifty thirteen years later.
I hear that there will be 36 of us attending our 40th reunion this weekend. Oy.
So wish me luck this weekend. Why are reunions so stressful? I think we all need to pat ourselves on the back for surviving high school and moving on.
In other news, my pumpkin seedlings are coming along nicely and will be ready to plant soon.
I still love to watch the miracle of seeds planted in soil push their way up through the dirt. Just like in Jr. Kindergarten!
Have a good weekend!

Don’t worry. Be happy. At this point no one can change anything anyway so just be who you are.
Worked for me last year (with one or two exceptions 😉 ).
Have fun!! And my only tip would be to avoid wearing anything crocheted. I think you’re cool.
“New outfit, Katie?”
I tell myself that I’m a cool Mom…
You are so much braver than I am! I don’t anticipate ever going to a reunion of any kind….but never say never, right?
THINK 50!
That picture of you is adorable — love the mop haircut 🙂 Try to have some fun! Also I LOVE those pots — I want to get another herb for my kitchen! You inspire me.
My expression is very Susie-like I think!
I agree!!
