Popular Post Scrapr ★ Posted July 2, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 2, 2019 was wonderful. Excellent even. The venue was awesome. A winery that WoScrapr would love. In my remarks I mentions that WoScrapr would be pissed she missed this party There weren't any hitches in the whole thing. Catering was early & was set up perfectly. Food was good and well proportioned. It was a beautiful day. 82 degrees and sunny with a light breeze. Started the day off walking to the LCS. On the way there WoScrapr sent me a Golden retriever to pet. I love the "reds". So she sent me one on my walk over. She was talking to me all morning. Lindy's "posse" had most things ready to go. at the venue. So my bestie & I smoked cigars out at a pergola. He was best man at our wedding (and i his). We remembered that we smoked cigars just before our wedding. We were late and delayed the wedding for a minute or 2. WoScrapr was mad. Had about 130 folks there. it fit the venue perfectly. When it got to be my turn to talk I did pretty good. Broke down a bit once. But i had my remarks typed out so i could avoid triggers. That helped a lot. When we got to the open mic portion I took the mic and walked around the room laughing with the folks about the Lindy stories. A short one. Our old neighbor (Karen) had a driveway that wasn't accesible on our street. But Karen's sister would park there and walk through the brush to the house. This made WoScrapr mad because our driveway was sort of blind to where the car was parked. WoScrapr let her know that parking there was a bit dangerous. So word gts back to WoScrapr that the neighbor called her an *sshole. Well... a bit later neighbor & WoScrapr are both at a party. heh, heh. WoScrapr walks up & introduces herself....I'm your *asshole neighbor. LOLOL. They were fast friends after that We had pre primed several people to come with stories. So that helped a lot. Lots of people laughing and having fun. It was truly a great afternoon. I just wish WoScrapr was there to have fun with us. I was a bit nervous that I was going to be more sad than having fun. But I think the laughter was cathartic. I felt good driving home. Like something had lifted. Maybe it was just the party that i was worried about. It was really good to see all the friends and family...(well some of the family) picture of my fraternity class. I'm the dressed up one. When did we all get so old? As incoming freshmen we were known as Scum. So that is what we call ourselves 45 years on 10 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapr ★ Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted July 2, 2019 Oden the Shedder came too. He did really good. He was a bit stressed early on and stuck to me like glue. But was better later walking around looking for food hand outs. Our good friend Jenny Dog made him a scarf that said Lindy is my Dogma ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted July 2, 2019 Share #8 Posted July 2, 2019 Thanks for sharing this. And the fact that you felt better on the way home is the whole reason for having these. I remember when we had my mom's funeral service my dad kept saying that he was disappointed that mom couldn't be there to visit with all her friends that showed up in one place. She would have loved the visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
