My Weekend In Holly

I had a wonderful weekend in Holly this past weekend.

On Saturday, Jacqui (Horchak) and I went to a yoga class at Ethos Yoga on Saginaw Street. I've never been to a yoga class and didn't know what to expect. I have my fair share of physical limitations and still thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Next we went to lunch with Kelly (Mills) at The Bittersweet Cafe, across the street from Ethos. Their Greek salad was easily one of the best I've had. The three of us caught up as well as reflected back to our elementary school days when we all attended Holly Elementary. We can't wait to get together again.

Next, Jacqui and I headed over the Dick Winglemere's station. I topped off while Jacqui went inside to see if Dick was there. She was informed he had just pulled up to the furniture store, so we walked next door. Sure enough, Dick was in a back room eating lunch and was about to get a surprise on, what we are told, his birthday. He is still the funny, youthful spirit I remember from school. Next we all walked back to gas station to look at the newspaper article on Thom Burke and the USS Ronald Reagan that Dick had in his back office. I felt very much like a VIP getting to see the inner sanctum of the station. Leaving, I tripped and almost went head first into a giant, industrial size freezer door, to which Dick quipped, "the reunion was almost canceled." Needless to say, I was unable to persuade Dick to NOT be in the U.P. hunting on November 20th.

Reunion venue: Camp Copneconic
