Gold Canyon, Arizona
Last night we joined our neighbours to eat gourmet hamburgers at a park sponsored event.
Mike and Debbie went over early and ‘reserved’ a table. “Look for the green table with the spittoon on top. ”
By the time we got there, the food truck was almost set up and ready to go.
We had our choice of burgers or chicken sandwich. I chose a bacon burger and it was delicious.
The line at the food truck moved amazingly fast considering how many people were there.
The music provided by Uno Dos was very good.
It was Wayne and Jan’s 12th wedding anniversary.
And we all had a wonderful time.
And we finished off the evening with Mexican brownies and ice cream while all seven of us talked about growing up Catholic.
Can’t believe seven out of seven were raised Catholic. Two even went through 16 years of Catholic education. Lots of stories about nuns wielding rulers… 🙂
Lots of fun social gatherings!

We actually have two this week! Egads! Who knew we could be such social animals… 🙂
Especially you Kathy!! Egads is right!!
ILTB.
I’m actually looking forward to one event… Look for a blog post about it later this week. 🙂
I don’t ever remember seeing a nun wielding a ruler or striking a child. Do you? I remember the nuns crying when ML and her friends cut school. And being ‘konk’ secretly delighted…..
Did you all talk about fountain pens?
I don’t remember rulers, but I remember ear twisting by one of them. And wow could some of them be mean….
I remember the rulers. I was not the recipient thankfully. However, the Sisters of “Mercy” could wield the ruler with ferocity palm up and once in a great while one the back of the hand if they were particularly displeased. Kathy, I also remember the ear twisting. A non-nun teacher used to throw chalk or erasers at talking students. She was our softball coach and had great aim. In high school, the teachers (lay people) would have wall to wall talks with some of the boys….
