It has been 40 years since some of us have graduated High School. This made a friend of mine think of getting a group together and meeting up on Long Island, the place we were raised.
I knew that I would be on Long Island this week and so I suggested that whoever wanted to meet-up, to come to our favorite breakfast get together. It has become a tradition for me, my sister, our Husbands and our childhood friend to see each other and catch up.
One person took us up on the offer and she flew to New York and attended our meet-up.
It was great to see her, since the last time we did, she had no children and my son was 6 months old. Now days, her children are almost all grown up, as is my son.
The other one (the one who suggested it) could not make it and that saddened me.
In good news, I saw her Mother and her sister on Sunday (Mother's Day, if you forgot) and so I was able to catch up with her family, before I had to run to the City and pick up my Husband at the airport. An unexpected treat that I will always cherish. Especially since her Mom is the only one of our parents who is still alive.
Back in the day, our 3 Moms would play cards (Mille Bornes) at my house, and I distinctly remember those days. The kids would go in and out of the house. Playing with each other and doing kid things. It was a different time, a more innocent time...before 2 of the Moms ended up going to work, to make ends meet.
A nice visit to Long Island. Now back to Oswego, for the final week and lots of rain. Glad I have a car this time.
Sis. Wow I would say you really had a great week. To me luckiy I got to partake in some of it. I am so glad you came xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked up Mille Bornes for this post the memories of that time just all came back. It was a good time in our lives and yeah, it was a good week.
