School Daze - A Bit of History - Lunch with Beth Ann

Well here it is. Live Oaks School. K-8 is where it all started. This is were we met our forever friends and grew up with them. I lived on 3 Windsor Rd and yes walked through the snow for miles and miles, lol. I had good company, my very best friend Lynde Dodge. We were born 3 days apart and did everything together as children. There was a Dodge practically for every Balisciano. We lived in front of Treats farm which is now fenced off and was not when we grew up. Lots of hide and seek. The golden ranch is the house we grew up in and the side yard for which we played many games of spud and hide and seek. The Yellow house that was once blue is the Dodges house. Located across from our side yard. When we got older that was where all the boys hung out since 4 girls had the side yard bedrooms. lol. Judy always wanted to live in this neighborhood so now she does. Don't know why since she lived ON THE BEACH. She lives on the old Farley farm and has a beautiful home yard and pool.

Judy is a great hostess. She invited us for lunch and while 2 people did not show up for last minute emergencies Beth Ann Luchs did. Beth does a lot of work organizing our reunions every year. She is crazy. lol. And a lot of fun. She brought along the yearbook and the photos. Judy has all the notes we passed. hysterical. I posted our 1st grade pic (judy was not there) and 8th grade yearbook photos. I aspired to be a Secretary. LOL and Judy a Model. hahahaha. We were very cute. I was born a foreign exchange student lol.

Later we phoned the Travel Dad Jim Rickel to say Hi since we invited Tommy Dowin over. We called Tommy from Jim's in El Paso and now we called Jim from Milford. Jim and Tom were best friends. I wore Tommy's ID bracelet though. LOL. He is very talented and played a few songs on Judy's guitar. We are attending our 35 reunion in August! Everyone is invited to stay at Judy's as long as you like. LOLOLOLOLOL. she cooks real good. hehe
