Goodbye, Barry....Hello Nabs Weekend!

Posted by Kaye 63 on July 15, 2019, 8:41 am

Hoping no one had any major damage from Barry. Hated to see all those flood prone areas get hit once again. The good news is that we have a temporary break from the oppressive heat.

We have a big weekend coming up in Forest. Many of you will be traveling. Please be careful and take your time. Remember that this is supposed to be a break, a reset, a renewal.

Last minute arrangements are being made. If your plans have changed about attending Friday night dinner at the Gallery, please let me know. We are almost at capacity and would like to be able to seat as many as we can. Dinner will be served at 6:30. Doors will open at 6:00 pm. Keep the heat in mind.

Our Nabs n Coke Party will start 1:30 pm Saturday. As in the past, if you have a fan you can bring for the porch...it will help. We will all work to keep doors of Kk Closed as much as possible to save A/c.

Kel and I are so interested in how many of you have attended EVERY Nabs n Coke Party! Quite a few! Our first one was in 2011 at Roosevelt Park. Then there are others who got a late start but say that once they came, they have never missed another. Ever thought about WHY??? Be thinking about that. It’s certainly NOT the comfortable weather or the “lovely decorations”....shoot....not even free food!! So just be thinking about what it is that makes us want to make the effort, go to extra expense, and drive or fly the distances, just to come back. I’m betting it’s a similar response.

Looking forward to seeing you soon. K and K

All of them! I like seeing and talking to all who attend. It seems like many families had kids (Older and younger) that I know through my older and younger brothers and school. Hey, it was a small town!

Every summer, my kids say," You're going to your class reunion AGAIN??!!" I try to explain that this is an entire high school reunion and that we have so much FUN seeing friends that we grew up with AND seeing the new friends that we've made by attending the reunion each year. Hopefully, Barry and the rain will be gone.

All of them . Why? I just like seeing all the FHS folks even tho most of y’all are older I enjoy talking with you. Once a Bearcat always a Bearcat. People that never attended FHS just can’t understand it. It doesn’t matter if you were a student or teacher. If you don’t believe it ask Mr. P

So true, Steve. Almost all of my friends here, older and younger, have no understanding of “why” we do this. And don’t even get me started on my experience of going into Costco and asking “where are your Nabs?” Truthfully, I should have known better than that....lol

Yes, glad Barry is gone with the 6 inches of rain that he gave us at my house. But as I check the forecast this morning we have more rain for this weekend as well. 50% for Saturday also a chance for Friday and Sunday. Safe travels for all the Bearcats coming home this weekend. See you all this weekend.

I for one am really looking forward to the Nabs and Coke Party this year. Thanks to so many prayers lifted up for me and wonderful doctors and staff to take care of me, I will be able to attend. Maybe not with bells on but I plan on being present. See all of you tomorrow.

GOOD news, Shawna. I wouldn’t want you to break your perfect attendance! I know you missed most of the very first one due to work, but you still met up with some of us to visit and catch up....so THAT COUNTS!! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
