DAY TWO DAWNS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL
Since today’s class reunion events start with a brunch, we relax with a later rise this morning. It is another beautiful summer day in Southern Idaho and we enjoy the drive across Magic Valley into Buhl with less traffic and no road blocks today. Downtown Buhl is quiet and looks abandoned after the crowds of the parade yesterday. The brunch is at a café downtown that isn’t normally open this time of day. Local class members have prepared delicious home cooked casseroles, fresh fruit and pastries. There are a few new faces. Classmates who opted for family holiday obligations yesterday are joining us for brunch today. A few others are not attending the brunch as they have opted for golf, farm chores, or other activities this morning. Once again, we linger, enjoying visiting and reconnecting, and much more relaxed this morning having made our initial recognitions yesterday. Finally everyone heads off in various directions until the banquet at the country club this evening. We wander out onto the street and investigate the current downtown profile. On the corner of Main and Broadway we are curious about the little memory ‘Park’ –Legacy Corner– that has been built in honor of the town’s centennial celebration. Reading familiar and forgotten names on the brick wall bring back many memories. The huge sculpture on the side of the building is impressive.
