45th Class Reunion




Saturday was Mapleton H.S. 45th class reunion, we had it at the Pump House Grill in Ashland. We only had 17 members return out of 55, but 5 are deceased. We did have 1 classmate that had never been to a reunion before, and several that had not been for a few times. We all had a lot of catching up to do, 5 years each time in a big time span.
Next time will be our 50th, we are hoping that everyone will make an extra effort to return for that.

Tired of Mowing

We are only partway thru summer and I am already tired of the routine of mowing the yards. It is usually too hot to be out there all day. The good thing is I am getting a tan.
H saw a snake up in a tree, now I keep thinking one is going to fall on me when I go under them. I don't mind snakes as long as they are on the ground and I am on the mower. I didn't know we had any tree climbing snakes in Ohio. I will have to look them up to see what kind it is.

Heel Spur

I have been having problems with my left foot since February, the heel hurt, then the area behind my knee started hurting, so I must have been walking to protect my heel. I have been taking lots of Ibuprofen to help with the pain. Yesterday I went to the podiatrist(foot doctor), x-ray shows I have a large heel spur with inflammation of my tendon. First they brought in all these pamphlets on freezing the nerves, surgery, and shock waves to break the spur. I opted for conservative treatment, so they put a cortisone injection in my heel. OUCH!! But I must say the foot feels better today. But I don't, I couldn't sleep last night at all, I was up and down so many times, I finally went to sofa to watch TV. Nothing on at night.
It is now AM, I still don't feel sleepy. So the 4th will be a long day.
Happy Independence Day to everyone! Don't forget to display your flag. And enjoy your cookouts.
