Heaven: #1-The reunions

Love, love, love visiting places I lived as a child.  Holmes County, Ohio has to be in my top favorite places.  We just returned from 8 days there and it really was like heaven.

The reason we went and stayed 8 days was because it was my high school class 50th reunion one weekend and a get together with my nursing school classmates the next Thursday. I don't know how it could be 50 years as I am pretty sure I am not 50 years old yet. :P Both events were extremely enjoyable.

The Reunions
Hiland High School-We had 34 graduating seniors in our class. Sadly 6 classmates have passed away, one, who we will never forget, following our sophomore year.
 
Friday night the Hiland High School class of 1964 got together for a picnic and bonfire.  Although faces looked familiar I was very appreciative of the name tags!  It was fun sharing memories around the bonfire. Memories continued to come even after the celebration was over.

Saturday was an unforgettable day.  We gathered at the school for a tour with the principal. Nothing stays the same, but, it's all good.  We found the state runner up trophy from 1962.  Talk about memories. :) We also took a memorable tour bus ride through the county.  You'd be surprised what tiny roads that bus could go down.  Bob was impressed when they started showing where everyone lived/lives.
