the best hometowner photo
it's been kinda crazy fun around here this summer - which is wonderful, compared to what we went through last spring and summer.
in late june i went back to the ittybitty hometown all class reunion - dragging my feet and pouting about it the entire way. well, wouldn't ya know, i had an absolutely fabulous time! i really enjoyed connecting with the old classmates, crushes, and most of all, friends.
the ittybitty hometown weekly newspaper there runs a photo of "where people are reading the hometowner"
this little section includes a photo of people and/or person reading the hometowner in various places from around the world. my cousin is big on this and whenever we are with them, she ALWAYS has a hometowner with her for the photo op - which she then submits. needless to say, we have been in several of these over the years.
i decided to do something a little mischievous because, as i was growing up, that was what i did ... "how much can i get away with without getting caught?"
i decided it would be fun to climb the fence at the municipal pool after hours and get a photo of a bunch of alumni reading the hometowner and submit it. to make a long story short, there was much orchestrating and fast talking - but in the end i GOT THE PHOTO.
we got to the pool around 11:00 pm and several of us went over the fence - then we saw a car pull up. lo and behold it was a cop car. the cop said he had heard about what we were up to and then asked those that had not yet gone over the fence if they would like to go in the front door - as he had a key.
well, hell yes!
i asked the cop who he was, as i knew he was an import, he said, "i'm kim _____, CHIEF OF POLICE!"
oh... great.
so, we look around for a good place to take the photo and then realize that everyone there wants to be in the photo.
i have no choice, i ask the chief if he would be so kind as to take the photo - he said "sure!" we all got positioned, the chief VERIFIED that it was indeed the "hometowner" that we were holding, and then proceeded to take photo after photo until we got one we all liked.
here's the end result - the clock on the wall is at 11:22 - perfect!
i love being naughty - i guess that never changes with age, eh?

Sounds like great fun, and that's a great photo. I always did prefer the naughty girls.
