The spotlights are down, the costumes packed away, the wigs and mile high hats packed away.
With all the drama stripped aside, it was plain and simply each of you.
Enjoying, smiling, reminiscing, hugging, laughing......
A gathering of the top 10 lists were presented.

Making New Friends
Micah had to step forward to share his frog blooper that not many knew about.
Those in the crowd nodded in humble acknowledgement when their names and moments of glory were pointed out.
Laughter,
back slaps,
and congratulatory applause were all shared amidst friends.
Quiet in the gym please! (for the 576th
time)
If it’s not your responsibility,
don’t touch it, if it is, make sure you get it. - Tonia
Don’t Forget Anything!
Just remember everything I ever said.
Don’t break the 4th wall
(or even the 3rd wall, haha)
I just made an executive decision.
Do a freeze frame!
Don’t…or you will die! –Maren
Do it again, please.
I have a sock in my mouth.
If you can hear me, raise your hand…now
put it over your mouth
Get your Iowa on!!
Songs were sung, thoughts were shared....
and then gifts of appreciation to one who has given so much.
A standing ovation says it all.
All this and more at a simple ice cream sociable,
a meeting of friends,
a moment of memories shared once more.
