Yes me, Wendy Clemens McLendon....the other Wendy!!!! will be in Jeans most likely Fri. night then Saturday night dressing up a bit, since my husband is in Iraq I gotta look good for somthin I guess!
maybe our next reunion could have a 90's prom party theme...just imagine all the sequins and rhinestones and hairspray!!! fun!!! we could even strip some tie twisties to make fake braces. might be worth considering!
Boy we grew up with some crappy fashion! Oh, how I remember the days when I thought my mom was unhip for not pegging her pants! I refuse to trod that road again!
PS- being from the poor end of Elm Grove, I got a white dress to avoid the dying fees! How sad is that?! lol...
hey...thanks again to everyone who came together on the family picnic. we have a good group coming and the weather looks like it's going to cooperate and everything. i am really excited for all that the weekend is going to bring! if there are any last minute picnic people out there, we would love to have you. just shoot me an email to let me know. thanks again to all our planners! see you all soon!
For the guys---I'm planning on wearing brand new, gleaming white canvas K-Swiss shoes with no socks, some checkered Skidz or super tight acid washed jeans(both pegged), and either a XXXL t-shirt that is slightly tucked in, or an IOU sweatshirt for Silvermans or Chess King. That should be really impressive.
I think Darnell, Wendy and I will be doing a live broadcast of the Patriot Connection right at 7 p.m. Don't be late!!! We will be wearing Bugle Boys, a turtle neck and a cardigan sweater!!
My wife and I were planning to come to Generations around three. I will try to act interested in the game (actually will be rooting for another WVU loss, but people who knew me in the day know I always have been a Pitt fan).
p.s. I know this is 11th hour, but what exactly does one need to bring to a steak fry, ie., what does it involve? I've gotten conflicting stories from people I know. Thanks.
A steak fry "bag" includes a plate, a fork, a knife, something to "flip", "turn" or "cook" your meat with, any seasonings or sauces you like to put on your meat. If you carry all of this in a bag, it makes it very handy! And BYOB, if you want mixed drinks or wine. And don't ask anybody but people from the Ohio Valley about a Steak Fry, they have no idea!! It's true!
Well, you missed a hell of a steak grilled by Darnell Foster (thanks Darnell!), "dirty smurf" blue jello shots that were quite tasty if I do say so myself, great music, memories and conversations! And my gosh, what a picnic! Mya is still talking about the clowns, bounce house and goodie bags! All the planners did such a WONDERFUL job! I have to say, the best thing for me was speaking with folks I didn't get to know in high school- I appreciate that we are all adults now, no clicks, no levels of "coolness"- all equals and interested in each others lives. It was truly a wonderful weekend! Thanks everyone!
Wendy White couldn't have said it better. It was truly a pleasure speaking and catching up with everybody....not just those we were close with in high school. I want to personally thank the committee for doing such a wonderful job in putting everything together. As I was driving back to KY today I literally found myself bent over the steering wheel of my car crying laughing (while my whole family slept) about so many memories as well as ones I forgot to mention! For those of you who would like to send me your photos of the weekend please email them to matt@proplayersolutions.com or matt.dilorenzo@gmail.com. I am going to do my best to put the video footage I took as well as photos on a DVD for everyone. Some of the video is hard to hear b/c of background noise and there were some small lighting issues with some of the footage but for the most part it turned out pretty good. To eveyone I got to see and speak with I want to THANK YOU for literally making this weekend one of the best I have ever had!!
Big thanks to everyone who had a hand in planning the reunion! I'm glad I was able to make it to the steak fry and wish I could have been in town for Saturday night's party, too. --Jenny
