i went to the mayetta high school reunion last night. it was the first time i went to one of them. a few years ago our class had a reunion. i enjoyed the evening. we had a social hour before and  after dinner. i talked to many that graduated from mayetta high. i found that most have lived in the area all these years.

the class i graduated with was one of the honored classes. its been 40 years since we graduated. there were four of us from our class present. we were given a coffee cup with a picture of the old high school on it. i was also given another one for being the youngest grad there. they introduced each class and everyone was given an opportunity to address all present. i wore my t shirt with the mayetta high logo on it. our class reprinted them for our reunion. the mayetta alumni association liked the shirt and decided they will sell them as a fund raiser. i was the first to sign up for a new shirt. i also ordered a history of mayetta high from them. it has all the graduating classes and many old pictures in it. i wanted one as soon as i heard they would be available. it is history.

i went outside with the smokers for a break. the topic turned to politics. the discussion became quite lively. they were a wide range of opinions. it seems many in this country are fed up with how the politicians are doing things. lot of discontent. i wonder if washington is aware of this. i doubt it. they keep themselves insulated from the people.

before i went to the reunion i took my dog to get a rabies shot and a flea/tick dip. while there they warned that a storm was coming with high winds. i didnt think anything of it since this is kansas. me and mary were smoking outside when the winds came. dont know how fast they were but they snapped some limbs off the trees in the yard. the trees were bent in about a 45 degree angle from the winds. it was the kind of storm that makes you put your sema down. not much else you can do.

i got home before dark and was sitting outside. i noticed lightning bugs in our hay field. they were hundreds and hundreds of them everywhere. i just watched them. that was the most i seen at one time. it was neat to watch them. i remember as a kid catching them and putting them in a jar. they would end up dying. kids dont know any better.

it rained again last night. the gardens i put in will really grow now. they will make me look like i know what i am doing. good weather makes good gardeners. the rain will also bring the weeds up. i just finished weeding the garden. will have to start over again….
