Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot

I took a mental health break yesterday to meet with a group of old friends. The ladies above all met through our husbands' involvement with a Knights of Columbus group and we shared a lot of years of activities there. I lost touch with the group when I divorced my first husband but most of them have maintained a tenuous relationship over the years.

Heidi suggested that we each tell about our lives over the intervening years so there were tales of travel, divorce, loss of spouses and loss of children, going back to school and re-marriages. We shared pictures of children and grandchildren and weddings and there was a lot of laughter and more than a few margaritas drunk. Two of the group were missing; Sue was busy dealing with frozen water pipes at her florist shop and Vicki is down in Texas enjoying the warm weather, so I called Vicki and tried putting her on the speaker phone, but it was too noisy for us to talk to her. She's just going to have to come home sometime this summer, because we're going to try to meet on a monthly basis or so to stay in touch. If the restaurant doesn't lock the doors when they see us coming the next time--heh.
