Today was the final day of the TCS All Class reunion. It had one event, a family picnic out at Legacy Play Village. It was simply a time for alumni, spouses and children to have one last hurrah for the weekend. There was a party pack of shaved ice from Bahama Bucks (a local delicacy) as an added treat. Families came, and while some took advantage of the playground, most stayed in the relative shade of the pavilion to introduce children and spouses.
As photographer I moved around between the two venues, but it was fun all the same. I got to talk to several people I hadn't seen in over fifteen years. I think we all had some fun (I did), but heat and children (especially young ones) don't mix for long, and within a couple of hours we all said our goodbyes and went our separate ways for the next five years. (That's when the next reunion will be.)
The rest of the day was spent having lunch with some old classmates, having a Starbucks, and running an errand before I went up to Plainview to see my brother and his wife. We talked over some important things, some not so important things, grabbed a bite for dinner, and took in a movie. We rented Full Metal Jacket watched it until I had to leave, once again late at night/early next morning.
Tomorrow is the family reunion. I am dreading it as the one person I really wanted to see will not be there yet again. (It's not her fault; it's a family emergency.) I plan to leave early and beat it for home so that I can figure out how to get back into the stream next week.
