A Girl's Day Out at Reynolds Plantation

Since we don't have to take apples to the teacher any more, we can give ourselves a treat. If apples aren't your thing, how about a short jaunt with your classmates?

I thought it was my turn to take responsibility in scheduling the next Girl's Day Out lunch. It is time to go back on the road, so we will visit the Southern Living Idea House at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro and have lunch nearby. This location is about half-way between Augusta and Atlanta so we'd like to have a good fun bunch.

We will plan to meet at 11:30 to have lunch and tour the house afterward. There is great shopping nearby if you want to come early or stay later. The house tour is $5.00 with proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity. I have two restaurant recommendations and am waiting on another, but will be happy to hear of other delicious locations.

I have two dates as possibilities: My first choice is Wednesday, November 14 with Friday, November 16 as a back-up if Wednesday is just awful for everybody.

Let me know if you can come and we'll set up some meeting places for the trip from your neck of the woods.

Define "Old"

Since it has been 60 years since we entered first grade, this made me smile. I'm glad all my friends are not like this! Thanks to Donna Andrews Pittman.

--------------------
First, you tell your friend that you are having an affair.......!

Then your friend asks you..........
"Are you having it catered"??

That, my friend, is the definition of OLD!!!!!

Getting the Names

Trick or Treating and a family wedding got my blog time this week, but let's see now. I've gotten emails from those who went to Joseph R. Lamar and Martha Lester but who remembered some of these faces. Thanks to everyone who sent a list, I've added names to Lewis's list but I'm still unsure about the identity of 3 people. I guess I need a little more help.

On the front row of girls, I'm not sure which is Boyce and which is Margaret Ann nor do I have a name for the girl on the end in front of Mrs. Asserson. I can't wait to get an answer or two so I can get the rest of the names on the photo.
