I'm So Excited!!

Wasn't DWTS absolutely great last night? My sorority group went to dinner at the new Honey Creek Resort near Moravia, Iowa. We didn't dream we'd get back in time to see the final dance, but we did! She performed just beautifully and set the bar for the others!! I hate it that this season is over - they had some wonderful dancers!

Now back to reality. My brother and I are going to the cemetery to decorate the graves today because this weekend is going to be chaotic to say the least. My great niece, Kaylee, graduates from Waverly-Shell Rock HS this Sunday and her graduation party is Saturday. It's about a 3-hour drive from where we live. Then, one of my aunts passed away last night, so I'm sure that funeral will be later this week - probably Friday. She was a wonderful aunt - everyone's favorite! She always had a smile and a hug and always said, I love you, when we visited her! She was 93 or 94 - I can't remember for sure which.

Oops, here's my brother now - more later...

I'm Sorry LT!

I've been in Beta Sigma Phi now for 35 years and tonight was our annual Founder's Day Banquet. It was lovely. Years ago we always wore long gowns to Founder's Day, but we've progressed(?) since then...somehow I wish we still dressed up in long dresses. It was always so lovely! Tonight we had 3 different rituals which were very well done.

The only bad part of this evening was a lot of us wanted to be home watching "Dancing With The Stars - The Results"!! I'm sorry to hear that Lawrence Taylor was eliminated tonight. I met LT in Kansas City in about 1989 or so. He was very charming and charismatic! On "Dancing" he acts so shy! Our encounter in Kansas City was very short, but I was enamored with him nonetheless! He was with the NY Giants at the time and they were in town to play the Chiefs. My friend, Karl Nelson, was there with the Giants, even though he was undergoing chemo treatments for Hodgkins Disease. He introduced me to LT as well as several of the Giants - it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Karl accused me of being just like all the other women - smitten by the athletes. I just considered them all legends! Lawrence Taylor, Pepper Johnson, Mark Bravara, Phil Simms, Karl, Coach Parcells - what fun! That's all for tonight, more later...

 My blog has been hacked so I am suspending blogging for the immediate future.  Sorry!  More later...
