Hi everyone! It's been forever since I've blogged!
I just got back earlier this week from my hometown of Detroit! It still has my heart! I love that city!
Well I spent a little over 2 weeks there. The first weekend was my husband's family reunion, 2nd weekend was a trip to Grand Rapids to visit my sister, and the 3rd weekend was my 20 year high school reunion!!!! Cass Tech's class of 1987 still knows how to party and I loved every bit of it, but realized that I am getting old and wiser.
The first night of the class reunion I was out until 3 in the morning and besides my feet burning from being in heels for 7 hours, which included dancing to the music from my era plus doing the "Cupid Shuffle," I had a splendid time!

The second day we went to the Detroit Historical Museum to view the CT Centennial Exhibit. Cass Tech alumni has included Lily Tomlin, Diana Ross, David Alan Grier, Ellen Burnstyn, Miss USA 1990 Carole Gist (in my class), and 1993 winner Kenya Moore, 2003 America's Next Top Model Naima Mora, Jazz Trumpeteer Donald Byrd, Fashion Designer Kevan Hall (brother of actor Vondie Curtis-Hall) and many others.
That night we partied but it was at a club owned by one of our classmates so it was open to anyone 21 & over after 10pm and as I watched the youngins walk in to party I wanted to tell some of them to put some clothes on. I'm a bit old-fashioned and believe that many young ladies don't leave enough to the imagination.
Sunday was the picnic and I had to tell the caterer to put a couple of hot dogs back on the grill because I like mine a little burnt. I enjoyed having my 2 daughters there and seeing my classmates' children playing and enjoying spending time on Belle Isle.
The best part about the reunion was that we're all grown up now, out of the cliques, and relaxed with each other.
