50

This is my second post today – probably should have been my first, but here you go.

Honey and I are headed for Jimmy Walkers on the Kemah Boardwalk for lunch.  It is a 50th Anniversary event for her Furr High School class.

Honey said this morning that she really wants to go, but isn’t exactly looking forward to it.

She probably wasn’t very popular her senior year.  Being born in November, Honey was a mid-termer, started school in January.  Her junior year, she and several friends went to summer school and ended up being moved up a half a grade.

Honey still insists that they just went to summer school because they were bored and couldn’t afford things like summer camp.  The kids who had been on schedule to graduate top of their class – and especially their mothers – were sure it was a sinister plot to steal their thunder.

I can see why they felt that way – Honey graduated valedictorian and her summer school buddies took seven of the top ten spots in the graduating class.

It will be interesting to see if anybody still holds a grudge.
