No aches. No pains. Ample energy. Smiles. Giggles and a lot of yakkedy yak.
Multi-tasking with one's tongue and ears while responding to numerous conversations can be challenging no matter what.
Oh a few occasional awkward movements, but when you're climbing to the back end of a convertible, even the most agile of humans might lack grace.
Above are just a few snippets from yesterday's photo shoot with some 70 somethings in SHS spirit gear who pushed aside bodily misery and welcomed some steps into their collective past.
The setting: Sandpoint Middle School, which was once Sandpoint High School when members of the SHS Class of 1965 reunion committee gathered for a few photos celebrating a notable class achievement.
Those evergreen trees along Division Street and the deciduous variety along the drive into the school parking lot were planted in 1965.
The Class of 1965 raised the funds to plant the trees and to put a big Bulldog on the side of the building over the doors to the school gymnasium.
The Bulldog eventually was painted over and replaced by a smaller Bulldog cuz younger kids had begun to attend the facility which became a middle school.
The trees, however, are thriving magnificently as 60-somethings.
And, so we met around Mike Rosenberger's 1965 Dodge convertible, which he has been restoring for the past few years.
Restoration in this beautiful classic has included sound, and so the sounds of the 1960s were adding to the youthful spirit throughout the photo shoot.
I asked Bill to come along and push the button on the camera. He did so several times in three different locations.
All the while, iPhone cameras were out doing their work with selfies and candid photos while the group, minus two members (we missed you Mike and Judy) marveled at the car, enjoyed each other and often reverted to some silly 16-year-olds.
For a few hours, we all forgot about the age-related problems and snatched back a welcome slice of our youth.
To say the least, a good time was had by all, and we're all looking forward to continuing the fun with upcoming planning meetings and the big reunion in late September.
We enjoyed a lot of fun moments yesterday and felt great pride in seeing a project that has lasted 60 years and is still looking good for the future.
