On May 7, 1992, three brave souls met at the High School at 4 o’clock for what we thought would be a fun evening at Dawn’s house.
We all piled into Dawn’s van. We, meaning myself, Karen Kenefick, Kristie Ennis, Dawn Norton, and Lester. After Dawn drove us through boonie land, we finally made it to downtown Delano. We did our grocery shopping for the night, but it was hard to keep track of everyone because we all know how big Delano is.
When we reached Dawn’s humble home, we unloaded all of our junk and went inside. There we were greeted by her son Jay who was dressed in a suit-like thing to impress us. What a nice gesture. I wonder how much she paid him.
As Dawn, Lester and Dawn’s special friend Mr. Wilkes sat around and talked, we played volleyball with her looney kids. Did you know Dawn has crazy neighbor kids, too? It must be something in the water, who knows.
Finally after a long wait, the Mary Kay lady showed up in her pink Cadillac. It turns out she went to Minnetonka Schools and had Mr. Wilkes for a teacher. Her name is Laura Robideau. We all got to draw lines on our faces and Dawn was freaking out because she has very low ears. So now when you talk to her don’t stare too much at them, it makes her uneasy. At about 9:30 Heather Hanily and Heather Downs finally found Dawn’s house. How unfortunate that they were late and missed out on all that fun. Lester and Heather Downs kept talking about the career possibilities with Laura, so she stayed until 12:30.
At about 1:00 a.m., we ate the bread that Dawn and her special friend had made, but they forgot the yeast so it didn’t rise. Isn’t that just her luck! We then went downstairs and started to watch a movie. I remember thinking to myself, boy, are we up late!! Then I fell fast asleep.
The next morning we were awakened by Lynette walking in the door with our breakfast. After we ate, we packed up and headed towards the high school to end a wonderful time at Dawn’s.
Hey Dawn, please don’t take this too offensively. You know that we still love you (a little hee, hee) and if you invited us over again we would jump at the chance. THANKS!!!
