Anyway, here is my blog about our adventures on the road and I have posted a collection of photos dedicated to our gathering on May 30 th.

For those who were present, thanks for coming. It sure was fun.

For those who couldn't make it, we were thinking of you with love and affection. Lots of good memories of our youthful lives and experiences.

I hope we will all stay in touch and who knows....... maybe we will have another opportunity to see each other again somewhere down the road!.

Caio, Janet

The Magee & Quilchena Reunions

Here are some pics from the Saturday & Sunday celebrations. See the sidebar.

A rainy spring week in Vancouver

I flew in to Vancouver a week ago yesterday to visit Michelle, attend my high school reunion(Magee '55, 55 years later) & meet on the steps of my grade school with eleven Grade Six classmates.....61 years later! Woo-hoo!

One whole week in Vancouver and it rained every day but, that didn't deter the fun. Thursday, Michelle, Zephyr(her greyhound) & I took the ferry to Bowen Island(see pics). Alan & I met on Bowen Island and later on bought a cabin on the water, which is still there.

On Friday, I went with classmate Shelley & her husband to a house party for the out-of-towners in West Van. Saturday, Michelle, her friend, Nicole & I went for a mani & a pedi in the West End....opted for a lilac shade to match my blouse! Later on the party started at the Jericho Sailing Club where over 100 Magee Class of 1955 gathered. It was a wonderful afternoon and evening with lots of reminiscing and laughter. On Sunday at 10:00am our Quilchena group met at the school for a photo-op on the steps where we tried to replicate the old photo from 1949. Then we all moved to the Avenue Grill in Kerrisdale for brunch. Classmates, spouses/partners & children were there too. The Avenue was our hangout or juke joint when we were kids and, although the decor has changed drastically, it's still in the same location and stil has the original neon sign out front!

Sunday, Monday & Tuesday Michelle was off work so we cleaned up and renovated her apt. following her room-mate moving on. It is in a perfect location in Kitsilano and so close to UBC where she starts her Masters in Nursing this September. Michelle will be in the Nurse Practitioner program. Wednesday I flew home, another rainy day!! However, I missed the snow in Edmonton last weekend, so that's not to bad.
