lunch today: Briami---yummmmmm. How about you?

Organize a mini reunion, that what we did, I know some more are planned but I can't fly out to all

DH finally got on facebook too, he is a native here in Phoenix, and since they didn't have their 30 year, 2007, they are holding one next month, we're organizing it... seems most people I know who are on facebook are experiencing the same thing:

Mini reunion's and get togethers~ It is SO AWESOME.

Not only that, there was one particular girl I did not like when we were kids, well, we connected, awkward at first, now she is a great confidant. Its great, and so much more.

To be honest, I'm on facebook every day, that is why I haven't been on here that much.

Funny, I have posted some awesome recipes from here on facebook too, and my friends love it.

 
dianncy - that is exactly what it is for us - DH is having a ball of fun scanning photos

that we brought back from his mother's house and sharing them with classmates, relatives, etc.

Our friends in the UK's grandkids are asking us to be their friends and trying to show their parents and grandparents how to use it to communicate with us.

I use it to keep up with what is going on in the local food and music scene.

I don't do all that junk though - the surveys, polls, games, etc. I just use it as a great communication tool.

 
I know... when we moved here to Phx, long story short, we lost all of our baby pictures

Well... quite a few friends posted old school pictures and an old neighbor or two posted some and had one of me or my siblings in the picture.

This past March I gave my sister a framed photo of her in the 3rd grade along with her class picture, believe me, she was actually moved to tears.

My oldest friend, Tom, who use to live across the street from me and who is 5 months younger than me (been a joke for ever)AND we shared a crib together (that's how long we've been friends) we reconnected after 20 + years and he actually posted pictures of me when I was 5, my brother at 6.

He even found an old picture of me on my communion day with both my parents and THAT is the only picture that exists of my parents when they were young.

I can not tell you how awesome this is to me and my family, though they won't join, I do interact with their classmates and they are overly kind in posting the pictures.

We grew up in a very small town, Iselin, NJ... everyone knew everyone and everyone went to school with each other or someone's sibling, we had big families back then.

And its great to pass on messages to my sister's or brother from their friends, actually my brother had his dearest friend come to visit him in October, my brother had the greatest time, again, thanks to facebook.

 
Dianne, I am not a FB person, but...I used to teach rollerskating at the Roller Rink in Islen

I am sure you know the name...May have been Woodbridge. Many fun memories of the going to the mall with my Mom and Nana; I got my first pair of gloria vanderbuilt jeans there!

 
It was USA Roller Rink, we use to go there all the time. I use to work in Woodbridge Center too.

Small World.

We use to go in the mid 70's. Everyone went and we use to skate to the disco music and I saw some dancing skating that was awesome.

Woodbridge Center is such a huge mall, I remember when in 1979 Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead was walking around the mall and he came to where I was working at Snip & Snax and for some weird reason started a conversation with me. I look back on that now and remember I nodded my head a lot and that he was really a nice guy, never would have known he was a mega star. The only tip I ever received working there.

Wow, thanks for the memories.

barb_b, Iselin changed a whole lot, its nothing like it use to be, I have to say I was actually stunned when for the first time I went back this Spring. My memories of Iselin were of a "Mayberry Town" but now, in some parts its just crowded, some parts remained the same.

 
I have not been there in years! I was "teaching" at the roller rink mid-late 70's. Funny, No $$;

they just gave us extra time on the rink...Fun memories!

 
What are the odds we didn't see each other, I was there just about every weekend and on Wednesdays

too. It was the popular place to be and everyone we knew was there, so many good memories.

You never know, we may have even talked to each other because I took some lessons to learn skate dancing maneuvers as did some of my friends.

I use to like when they had random calls for pairing up couples to dance skate together, I believe that was the high-light for Friday nights smileys/smile.gif
