It seems that August must be THE reunion month. We have been having so much fun getting together with old friends recently. And, believe me, we are all feeling quite blessed that we are still around and are able to be together.
This evening we were invited to share an evening with old friends: Bill, Sharon, Dick, and Lonnie.
Don, Bill, and Dick have been close friends since they were athletes together in high school.
In fact, the three guys and I all graduated in the same class of 1954. But Dick and Bill married much younger women. Well, a little younger, anyway.
I thought we all looked great this evening, just as we do when we meet every summer, before the other two couples return to Florida for the winter. We are all still young enough to have a great time and a lot of laughs. Typically, the guys sat around on the patio and shared all the stories about the good old days. They are all very mellow, laid-back guys. But I heard a lot of ornery laughing going on out there.
The girls sat inside where the talk was about our kids and grandkids. Pictures were passed around, and we all agreed that our grandkids were very handsome and beautiful. We all agreed that we don't always agree with the younger generations, but that they are doing a pretty good job in an increasingly difficult world. We talked about health issues, hobbies, and how we have really cut back on cooking and other strenuous activites.
Except that Sharon is still an excellent cook and loves doing it. Can you believe that she considers it a hobby? Anyway, she served a delicious supper. Sharon and Bill are both so
relaxed and gracious while entertaining. Everyone had a great time. I loved getting to see their new "Senior" home in the new "Senior" community. Thank God! No stairs!
Thanks, guys, for a great party and for your continuing friendship. I think we are all way more fabulous now than when we were young. I think we are all way smarter, too. We are smart enough to know a good friend when we see one!
