Tonight Z and I met her parents and Zoey for dinner at the VFW in Hastings for a rib dinner. It was very tasty. We later went to the Grand Old Creamery at School House Square and had some ice cream.
We sat outside to enjoy our ice cream, talked and watched all the people go by.
We met Brandi, the daughter of Animal a long time friend. Brandi has a new job in Burnsville as an accountant. She's even moved into an apartment in Burnsville too. We told her about the Lake Elmo Jaycee Road Rally in September. She is really interested in doing the Road Rally.
Later we took Z's parents and Zoey to Connie's house so they can see Connie's new Condo. We brought Connie a bag from the Creamery with a scoop of ice cream.
Everything is better when viewing life through Rose Colored Glasses.
Today, I delivered these Rose Colored Glasses with a logo on them to one of my clients. He was using them as a give away to his client. His client is a manufacturing business that his program is providing training for. His slogan for these is: "Everything is better when viewing life through Rose Colored Glasses." He trying to instill in these managers to be positive about thing and not a part of the problem.
My client said that he would be looking to re-order these next year as well.
I'm Italian, of course I have garlic breath!
All of us sales people at work today got rewarded for exceeding a extended warranty sales goal. We got a lunch from Bucca's restaurant.
The Bucca has great tasting garlic mashed potatoes.
Open House and 25th Class Reunion
Yesterday, Z and I went to Z's cousin's open house. They have a beautiful home not far from ours. We had a few beers. Zoey (Z's sister) and I played some pool and then Dan, Dan's friend and I threw some dart games. Even though I won both games Dan and his friend are worthy dart throwers and I could call either for subs on my dart league.
Dan and Kelly (the new home owners) are Karate enthusiast and have numerous trophies. Dan works for a law publishing company.
Then, we proceeded to go to my 25th class reunion. It was at farm in Hastings. Some people have done well for themselves. A buddy, Duane, who used to play bass guitar with me in a band I used to be in, is happily married and owns a duplex in Edina. I'm happy for him and his wife.
Duane mentioned that Dave, one of the other guys in the band was married with kids and living in River Falls, Wisconsin. I'm glad he's doing well too.
Some people still after 25 years are just dealing with the same issues. At the bonfire a woman, I knew well in high school, was lamenting over her lack of money and that she was having trouble getting a wheelchair for ailing mother. During high school she always worried about affording help for her mother. I believe that there are ways of getting help for people who need help. If there isn't Government agencies to help there are community service organizations and churches as well as individuals that would contribute to a worthy cause. Some people seem to think some goals are like a canyon they must cross and if the problem was looked at in the right perspective it is really a tiny crack between a couple of rocks they could easily step over.
Gunter and Nancy were there. I was expecting to see Roger M and his wife (from the health club we used to go to) - but never saw them.
I am still feeling terrible from drinking too much.
