Our Chapter House today: not exactly the way we remembered it.

We're Here!

Well we are one day into the reunion & having a ball. Amy Dye is keeping us in stitches. Nametags were required for a bit as some of us look different. Better, mind you. Last group hit the cold air dorm at 2am. Tried to make beds without giggling (unsuccessful) and by phone light. We filled Pete's but not sure what the other patrons thought about the OOOOOIE. Looking for a few new additions tonight. Could've had a candle passing as one of us just discovered she is pregnant.

C'mon over!

701 North C Street is ready for a party! BIG THANKS to Kara May who spent last night cleaning with me. Trust us. It was necessary. (You can thank us in assorted ways throughout the weekend.) The word EEEWWWWW just does not suffice. Figured God was getting even for all those house duties I didn't do well.

Just a warning- there will be painters on the second floor. At least one is a young man who would be eternally scarred to see women running around with no clothes. May wanna bring your robe or dress in the bathroom. They will try to stay out of our way & will be mostly in the upstairs bedrooms. D-day is approaching so they gotta keep moving.

The Sports Page on Sat night is confirmed for 4:30-ish.

Teresa J. is shopping a bit today for us. Thanks to her! Kara & I are washing your mattress covers so they are fresh & clean. If this Alumni gig doesn't work out, thinking I can go work at the Super 8.

See you soon!

6 more days!

Thanks to Lori for tracking who's coming (and going) while I was RAGBRAI-distracted. Looks like a great group!

We'll finish with the last minute preparations here. We are planning on Pete's Friday night. We can decide if we want to eat at the house or go there. Don't forget to bring a munchie to share Fri night & your beverage of choice. And for the #1 question- yes, it can contain alcohol as long as we are discreet :). (But it's still a dry house.)

We have a breakfast "strata" ordered from Simpson catering for 8:30 Sat am. Teresa Johnson Lagomarcino is doing some shopping Friday for things to round out breakfast Sat am. We'll pick up pastries for Sunday am.

We've set up a housecleaner for the next week although hope it's minimal clean up. We want to be sure to leave things as we found them so we can do this again!

If you have not sent a check, you can give it to me when you arrive. Any balance will go to the house for utilities and the new sprinkler system. If you are not staying over but would like to contribute or want to make a direct contribution, we'll have a basket in the living room. I know they'll appreciate our help. The sprinklers were necessary but really expensive.

Last minute reminders- remember to bring a sleeping bag or linens, toiletries, towel, camera & bag chair. If you are ballooning, old clothes. Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah. Bar money.

The house will open at 5 pm Friday & close at noon on Sunday.

Can't wait!
Leslie

Reunion

Hello all,
Teresa (Wolf) Hughes and I are thinking about leaving our children and husbands to try to get to Indianola. You need to understand that we don't get out much so Saturday night (only) is all we can handle. Maybe we can help Tami (Bonnes) Heil with her child care situation and bring her along too. Look forward to seeing and chatting with you. 'Little Bonnie'
