Tri Delta Gathering

The second Tri Delta Gathering in 2 months!  The last one had mostly friends who were younger than I was---this one was mostly friends who were. . . .ahead of me in school.  But this group included former roommates, mentors, pledge trainer, Big Sister and a lot of laughs.  People came from 4 states with at least one car from Cape.  Loved connecting and being with these ladies!  Those in attendance were (maiden names only):  Murph Masterson, Nancy Niehaus, Vicki Aufdenberg, Nancy Bray, Sue Bohnsack, Barb Renz, Vicky Altemeyer, Julie Feldmeier, Carolyn Patrick, Sharon Sievers, Jane Campbell, Linda Lee, Julie Evans, Lydia Bunch (she managed to avoid my photos---but trust me she looks just the same) and myself.

We've agreed we must do this more often---maybe even go to Cape!  Hope more can come the next time!

Summer Visitors

 This has been a busy summer for us---we have had a lot of visitors come in from out of town.  First, my sister and her husband came in and we were able to visit our aunt in her new place of residence.

Then Rebecca and Roman came in for a visit----a visit to Mo. Botanical Garden with the Lego exhibit was a must.

 Not all visitors stayed with us.  One of our college sorority sisters came to town so a group of us met for lunch.

Then, the Rachel's family came to town for a neighborhood wedding (Click here).  Our 4th was quiet, but we will soon be getting into the second wave of visits and visitors.  That's the nature of summer---people breaking out of hibernations, getting out while the getting is good.  We have been blessed with a cool summer this year which has certainly made these visits more enjoyable.

Tri Psi Library Tour Part 2

 The St. Louis downtown library was recently remodeled after 100 years.

 They did a beautiful job of cleaning, restoring and retaining some wonderful architectural details of this Cass Gilbert building reflecting its Florentine influences and 1912 style.

 

Although an architectural treasure, it is still a functioning library with a contemporary child-friendly children's area.
