Old Friends

I enjoyed being a part of a wonderful girls' night out last night. What an evening of fun! My sister, Donna, and I had dinner with two of our elementary school friends. We caught up on each other, discussed old times, and did a lot of laughing.

Donna and her friend, Deborah, met in the third grade. They have kept in touch through the years, even if they don't see each other often due to living in different states. We hope to solve that problem very soon.

Patty, as you all know, and I met in sixth grade and are in daily contact with each other. Patty and Deborah hadn't seen each other since we were in our teens, so it was a real treat having us all reunited.

When Patty and I arrived, I told the hostess there would be four of us and I didn't know if the other two had arrived. She asked if they were very funny women, I said yes, she pointed in the direction of a table and there they were! They had already let everyone know they were full of laughter and excitement at being together. We enjoyed our Mexican food, but loved the sharing even more.

We've decided to spend a day with my parents in East Texas since they, too, got close to our childhood friends. I can just imagine the laughter when we add my Mother to the mix! She's the only mother left among us and I'm sure she will love adding two more daughters to the fold.

Thank you Donna, Deborah, and Patty for a splendid evening. I don't know when I've had this much fun. Or laughed so much! You are all precious and I love you so much. Sissy, thanks for treating me to dinner. You are a jewel! A jewel as in diamond!
