Monet's Story

Paly Hi 1962--turquoise MGA with the top down and me wearing some crazy hat--anyone remember? (Yeah, I was spoiled--but didn't know it at the time--loved that car & the freedom it gave me). Best friends were Sharon Wann, Carole Hubbart, Ginny Thomas, --neighbors were Liz Bishop, Pam Vetter, Sally Foulis and Jenny Luebs. Carole & I are still best buds (since Terman Jr. Hi) altho she's in SF area & I'm now in St. George, Utah. (SW corner of Utah, 2 hours East of Las Vegas). My dress style is similar to HS days--coordinated & comfy. I've owned/driven Studebakers, an Opal, Ford Station Wagons, Toyotas,, Subarus, a VW Passat., and now a white Hyundai Elantra! First husband wrecked the MGA--married 4 yrs (CA), one daughter, Tristina Monet. 2nd marriage was a lot longer--33 years to Rod Lion, United airlines pilot (WA) and we had one daughter, Angela. We've been separated for ten plus years; have a good relationship and keep in touch. The daughters are in their 40s/50's now of course--one here in UT & one in Texas. Also have a married 25 year old grandson in southern CA. and a 22 y/o grand-daughter, Cheyenne, just north of Salt Lake City. I returned to college as an " adult student" for BA in Sociology in 1990--graduating Summa cum laude! Worked with women & children at risk part time--most imp...Expand for more
ortant thing I've ever done. Also, was a Guardian ad litem for a time --the most frustrating thing I've ever done. An aside: started smoking as Sr. in HS and finally quit in 1984--Hardest thing I've ever done! I celebrate every yr on anniversary with a special gift to self! Only Paly Hi boyfriend was Bob Payne and that was a disaster. I did get invited to 1961 Sr. Prom by Costa Rica exchange student, Carlos Ramos--that was cool!! He was pretty "liberated" at the time (& I was pretty Naive). LOL now. We're actually in touch through "Classmates." He now lives in Vienna. I travel extensively and love it--am always looking for a companion to do fun things with. My favorite soft adventure is Hot Air Ballooning. Are you game? I have a nice guest room here in SunRiver Retirement Community and enjoy tooling around in a golf cart with pooch. I don't play golf, but enjoy all the other activities here and the beautiful red rock country. St. George is close to Zion and Bryce National Parks and Lake Powell. As most of the '62 Paly grads, I'm celebrating my 70th birthday this year (August) and fortunately I'm still enjoying traveling. So far this year I've been to Austin, Phoenix, and Maui and will be celebrating the big 7 - 0 on a Lake Michigan small ship cruise with my elder sister. Bon voyage.

Must be summer; the chaste Tree with its long lavender plumes is in full bloom. Taken looking into my backyard from side gate.
Our own Century Plant in full bloom(yellow) about 2 blocks from my house! Really interesting!
Look what I found Alva, OKlahoma friends: me in 3rd or 4th grade!
This lovely sentiment is something I would expect to view at a cemetery, but it is located at the Star Nursery on Dixie Drive in St George.  So nice to read every time I purchase plants there 🌺
