About the girls lunch this Thursday, 12-3-2020.  Becky Davis has a Dr's appointment that day and Barbara Smith has an appointment at 2:40pm to get her driver's license renewed. Plus the weather is supposed to be nasty. Any chance we could change it to somewhere here in town? Also, Barbara Smith wants to know if anyone has a number for Janet Brodhagen so we could invite her to our lunches.

Thanks Barbara Gabel for planning this for us! I really appreciate it!

I did not write this - but well worth the read. -Martin

Barely the day started and... it's already six in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
... and the month is already over.
... and the year is almost over.
... and already 50, 60 or 70 years of our lives have passed.
... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.
... and we realize it's too late to go back...


So... Let's try, despite everything, to enjoy the remaining time...
Let's keep looking for activities that we like...
Let's put some color in our grey...
Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And despite everything, we must continue to enjoy with serenity this time we have left. Let's try to eliminate the afters...
I'm doing it after...
I'll say it after...
I'll think about it after...
We leave everything for later like ′′ after ′′ is ours.
Because what we don't understand is that:
Afterwards, the coffee gets cold...
afterwards, priorities change...
Afterwards, the charm is broken...
afterwards, health passes...
Afterwards, the kids grow up...
Afterwards parents get old - or are gone...
Afterwards, promises are forgotten...
afterwards, the day becomes the night...
afterwards life ends...
And then it's often too late....
So... Let's leave nothing for later...
Because still waiting to see you later, we can lose the best moments,
the best experiences, best friends, the best family...
The day is today... The moment is now.

Forget dancing like no one is watching you

Dance like a toddler.

They don't even care if they Even have music.

Hey lunch ladies,

You need to call your lunch bunch the JULIETS to go with the guys ROMEOS. That's "Retired Old Men Eating Out" and you girls would be "Just Us Ladies Into Eating Together". Heard that on TV the other night. Enjoy!

Kim: What a marvelous idea!! Love your sense of humor and it's soooo easier to type.

Thanks,

Hello Classmates.

It has been a while since posting anything, so thought I'd let you know that John and I are doing well and feel blessed with all that we have, and it would be foolish to find something to complain about. Anyway, Barb Gable and I was driving around yesterday in her hotti red SUV like two up-beat young gals feeling their oats, dragging daylight Main Street USA in bitter cold weather LOL!

And then the question of the day came up… “What were the businesses/buildings across the street from the high school on the south east and south west corner? However, please understand there are no prizes for the winners, just grateful gratitude knowing that you can remember that far back. Sending Railer Hugs from Newton. Connie

The southeast corner had a Texaco station and next to it was Harry Baker Motors (Chrysler/Plymouth dealership). I believe the southwest corner also had a gas station but don't recall.

Barbara Gabel (Gabel)

Thanks, Martin. I thought it was a gas station too.

Barb G

PS: See everyone at the class breakfast tomorrow!!

David Olson advised:

The gas station Diagonally South West of the High School at the corner of Broadway and Poplar was Dick Smoldt's Champlin and he had a son a year or two older than we were. His name was Alvin or Alan. I don't remember his name. In '72 when I came back through Newton it was a 60 minute laundry or something like that.

His name was Alvin. He was a year older than us. He played the trumpet in band and was a quite kind of guy.
Hear y'all freezing over there! Stay warm!
Happy Valentine's Day Railers!

Arlys Kessler (Nilles)

Hi, I will be in Newton on Saturday, March 27.  Would love to see as many of you as possible.  I'm up for breakfast at the Breadbasket if you think it is OK to do it twice in one month wink I've reserved the back room at the Breadbasket for the Class of 68 at 9 AM, but come whenever you get up smiley.  Hoping many of you can make it and I'm looking forward to seeing you.  Blessings... 


03/17/21 08:21 AM #1753    

 

Terry Bernowich (Schmitz)

Hi Arlys!

I certainly will try to be there!  Lately we have meeting at 10am instead of 9am but I think I can make it. It will be great to see you again. Have a safe trip and we will see ya soon!

Roger Morton

I think I'll come to Newton on the 27th for breakfast too.  Any COVID problems for Okies trying to get into Kansas? I'm looking forward to seeing Arlys and all of you regulars.

Kim Saylor

Well it appears as if Edie and I will be in the neighborhood this weekend and will be able to be at the Breadbasket as well. I have had one of my shots and we wear our masks everywhere so we feel fairly comfortable being around people of our own age. See you there!

Connie Hale (Rhodes)

Say.... this is just getting better and better. See you all at breakfast. John and Connie

Connie Hale (Rhodes)

It was so nice to see so many at the Breadbasket last Saturday. Sorry I had to leave early but heard that the visiting continued until 12:30'ish.  Lots of good things shared with hardy laughter. It always amazes me that one would not think much about those from so long ago, but all said and done we are all connected in oneway or another either through friends, family, and/or different events in life..

Anyway for you gals that are free this coming Wednesday 31st.... Come join the fun at our  "Ladies Luncheon" at 1:00 PM Hesston DeAnglelos in honor of June's retirement.. Hope to see you then if not before...

Take care, stay safe, and enjoy everyday to its fullest.  Railer Hugs Connie

Terry Bernowich (Schmitz)

Hi Connie!    Ditto on evserything you said! It was wonderful seeing everyone.

About our monthly lunch, I thought it was Thursday, April 1st. Unless we changed it to Wednesday for June.

Either way I'll be there!
