Susan Trost:  

htr and sister next month. Plan on doing a lot of relaxation on this one. It will be my sister's first cruise and she is very excited. Waiting to get our motorcycles out of storage for the summer. Planning on doing some riding, boating and camping with the grandkids. DICK RETIRED FINALLY!!!! Dec. 10th!!! Time is going to fast for me. I can't seem to do everything I would like. I still ride my motorcycle and now we are going to do snowmobiling this winter. ( I thought we were suppose to leave in the winter when he retires.) Where has the time gone. Dec 4,2009 Well, I had a very exciting night at the ballet in Reno. My grandaughter performed in the Moscow Nutcracker Ballet. She played the part of a Party Kid, and an 'Angel'. It was a dream of a lifetime for her. (me too!) She is only ten. Now, another chapter in my life is beginning. My husband is retiring after 43 years with the railroad. Oh, what a grand time this will be. Hope to do some traveling and enjoying life. Merry Christmas to all my friends. October 11,2009 The summer is gone and having to put our motorcycles away for the winter. Getting ready for the snow. Have our wood in and heat strips on the roof so there won't be any ice-dams. Going to celebrate our forty-first wedding anniversary on Oct 26th! Friends, I would like you to know about our high school website. It is free and please come and check it out. Just go to 3w's lasplumas66-70 dot com We have 100 members already. YOu can connect with old classmates. It's a lot of fun. 4/09 I wasn't going to bring this up but I decided to. My mother passed away on March 31st. It was rather unexpected. She fell and broke her hip. She never did recoop. It was very very sad watching her fail before my eyes. She was in so much pain that I prayed everyday for God to please take her. My sisters and I endured this for 6 agonizing days until HE decided it was time. We will never forget the wonderful times as children having such a beautiful mom, inside and out. We will miss her always. 4/09 Winter is almost over up here. Snow is gone, but that just teases me because we always get more. Right when I don't expect it! My mom passed away on March 31st. Doing ok, time always helps. Waiting to get our motorcycles out for the summer. Can hardly wait to take our weekend rides to LaPort. Best hamburgers and beer. I'm passing my gavel to the new President of Lady Elks this Tuesday. HooYaw! Two years was my limit. Hubby is suppose to retire at the end of this year. He's said that for the last four years! Can't wait to put the deck furniture out. I have been BBQing this winter. Just push the snow away and away I go! I do the BBQing because my hubby always burns it up.LOL Always seem to do a lot of babysitting for grandkids. Of course, I love it. Daughter and hubby are cruising the end of the month. And then Wendy is going to NYC for a week. I better get my running shoes on! I haven't had time to get a vacation for us. Trying to fit in a Maui trip. It was great seeing everybody at the reunion. Keep in touch and drop a line and let me know how you are doing and what's up in your life. 3/09 I'm down here in Lake Havasu for ten days visiting my sister-in-law. Couldn't believe I found out that Linda Randall, who graduated from LP lives in Kingman. Hope other classmates try to meet up with other classmates whenever they can. It is nice seeing each other even for just a short visit. Called her up and met there at the Cracker Barrel and had a very good time remenising about old times in school. Nice being out the the snow and into 80 degree weather. Don't want to go home quite yet! 11/08 Just came back from Disneyland! Couldn't believe that it wasn't crowded. We rode so many rides till we were sick , but we would just get right back in line and GO 4 IT !! Just like a couple of kids. LOL Then we headed to Lake Havasu for 4 days. Had to get that nice warm weather in our bodies before we headed back home to the mountains. So, that it for now. 10/08 Our 40th anniversary will be here this coming weekend! Can't believe it quite myself! Going to LA to celebrate the big ocassion. The 40TH reunion at Gold Country was just the best time, It was so great meeting such wonderful people, had such a good time visiting everyone. I met so many classmates that I hadn't seen in 40 years it was just amazing how many there were. I never got to give out my regular e-mail so I'm letting my friends know how to reach me. It is... sqtrost at sbcglobal.net Hope to keep in touch with my friends. My husband said he had a really good time meeting my classmates and really enjoyed their stories they had to say. The ladies he met were very nice and could see why I want to come to my reunions. There are some way back to kindergarden. My husband graduated with a class of 13. It's just not the same he said. But, he didn't quite mind giving up the Outlaw races touring through Chico the night of my reunion. Just had to let you know we can't wait for my next reunion and see everyone again. Las Plumas rules and so glad we won the LIBERTY BELL from the Oroville High class of '68' !!! LOL Just to let you know what I am doing as of 2008. I went to Eastside School, Bird Street, Challenge School, and Central Jr High growing up. I am going on 40 years of marriage. Have a son and daughter. My son, Jeff, has a 3 year old and a 3 month old boys. My daughter has a son, Tucker, who is ten. and a daughter, Cassie, who is eight. We have lived in Portola since December of 1980. My husband is still working for Union Pacific. He loves his job and never wants to retire. He was suppose to retire three years ago. But, you can't pry him away. We both love to travel, Caribbean, Hawaii and Mexico. We also have our own street bikes and we love to ride in the winding roads to LaPorte and Hwy 49. Keeping busy, as I am President of the Lady Elks for the second year. And that will soon be all behind me so I can relax for myself again. Oh, those days, how I remember them well. It will be nice to see everyone again at our reunion this year. Hope you can all make it. A childhood memory I will never forget. When my brother and sister caught polywogs and put them in a coffee can behind our wood stove. Next morning we had tiny frogs EVERYWHERE! LOL What a time we had catching them. Hundreds of them. Later, we founds some all dried up under the furniture.LOL
