They're coming!

Today was a great day! For those of you who know these people, here are the ones who are here:

Terri Lamb, Cindy Day Hair, Dana Allen Minnis, Debbie Allen Shushkewich, Ken Kee, Marti Soldana, Sandra and Frank Brown (Carol's sister and her husband), Carol and Gene Scavetta (reunion planners), Fran Wolf and Charlie Akers, Gary and Teri Whiteley, Jerry Schull Grant, Barbara Empting, Carol Coady, and Susan Wilbur. There are two more and I can't think of their names! One's last name is Benet and the other's first name is Janet; they are both working on the committee planning the reunion and I briefly saw them. Actually, Janet I saw quite a while, but I can't spell her last name or even get close; she made the center pieces for the tables at the banquet, so I should remember, but chemo fog wins. I probably didn't spell a lot of the names right (some names are maiden names and some are married names), but if you know them you'll know who I mean. Bob and Diana Clark are on their way; they left Hobart this afternoon and were nearing Amarillo around 4, when I talked to them last. God, please be with all those still traveling.

We had the best time driving around tonight with Dana and Debbie and Cindy and Terri. They loved the lights and the water show at the Bellagio. We got freeplay at the Monte Carlo and had fun playing and walking away with money. Cindy won over $200 on a penny machine! That was wonderful, because she had baked a wedding cake for a girl to earn money to have spending money for this trip and she delivered it yesterday and the girl said, "I don't have the money to pay for it." That $200 win sure came at a good time and she was smart enough to walk away from the machine right then!

Tomorrow everyone else will be coming in, so it'll be so fun to greet everyone. I'm getting up at 6 to get my walking and exercises done so I won't have to bother with it later in the day. I thank God for being healthy enough to make this trip. I pray that everyone else gets here safely.
