Girls will be Girls

Ok Ladies , You're all still beautiful

The Boys are back in town

Makowsky's Groupies

Grand Slam Event

The reunion came , the reunion went...Priceless...
Needless to say I'm sure you'll agree that this was probably one of the Greatest
affair/party/events that we've ever been part of. There was so much excitement, love,frienship and an overall atmosphere of serenity being with all of you.


This 'Family' gathering was not just the culmination of much work & planning, but rather the platform for lifetime friends to continue and florish. This weekend convinced me of this as I'm sure it did many others.


So , as the photos pour in , my face still hurts from smiling so much. Be on the lookout for new picture postings and other new goodies to follow.
