State Of The Reunion

State of the Reunion
2010

Junior high friends, Lynette, Linda, Ann and
me (Claudia) reunite for a wonderful
weekend in the Sacramento area.

First, three of us join together in Davis.
We had a great meal on the patio of the Bistro.

Next, we got a lovely room at the Hyatt.
Used AARP card for excellent deduction.

Nice "free" breakfast there the next morning.

We arrive at Ann's house.

Me taking photos, as usual.

Lovely weekend for spending time
on Ann's deck.

Ann has an incredible crafts room.

Ann taught Linda and me how to make
some jewelry. It was so much fun and
she had so many do-dads to work with.

Since Ann is so creative and artistic,
we enjoyed looking around her home.
Some of the following photos are of
things that are always in her house and
others she has added just for Halloween.

So much fun to see her many treasures.
Here are some of her photos of her trips
to "Burning Man".

A lovely orchid

Ann was so impressive with how she would
quickly whip-up a delicious meal for us.

Sunday, we went to the quaint historical
town of Placerville.

The store that was the most fun and
a bit quirky was the great hardware store.
We could have spend endless hours and
money in that store.

Great lunch there in Placerville.

Of course, back at Ann's we again were treated
to a tasty barbecue.

Thanks for a wonderful weekend!
