Not Your Average Granny

The Riverview Park turned out to be a great place to have the reunion. I was nervous about hosting it but it all worked out well thanks to my sister-in-law Judy. Glad it's over though.

We would be reading The Bobbsey Twins or Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys. I was into The Hardy Boys because of Shawn Cassidy. For some reason I just loved him.
