Holy cow - a friend dug out some oldie pics. Here's my gang at the Jersey Shore right after graduation. L-R Me, Terri, Trish, Helen, Joan
Young, thin, and so freakin' naive. We had no clue, but we laughed and we still are. Sadly, Terri passed away this year. But the rest of us are now chatting via Facetime. We always pick up where we left off. We do book club. We laugh, and we express our current fears, hopes, and give virtual hugs.
I am very fortunate to have this group of ladies as my friends. They are my roots. They are my soul. They count for far more than a Wednesday Moment.

That's amazing the rest of you are still friends and talk often. I've lost track of most of my high school friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm the only one who moved far. Everyone's in the area, one's in Jersey. I'm someone who keeps friends - gotta work at it.
DeleteBet that brought back happy memories Joanne.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Yvonne.
made me grin and also regret those large dark glasses frames I had back then
DeleteOh, you are all adorable. I'm so sorry you lost Terri. It's amazing that you're still going strong together, though.
ReplyDeleteIs this your spitfire group that had fun with my Trumpeter book? Regardless, I love you and your tribe, Joanne.
Thanks for sharing this gem.
YES - this is the gang. You may be an honorary member.
DeleteSweet picture that must bring back a lot of great memories for you. Friends are treasures.
ReplyDeleteyep - I am lucky with these ladies.
DeleteAnd it's a small reunion right now on Facebook - I'm seeing faces I haven't seen since graduation day.
Hi Joanne - how wonderful to see the photo, but more importantly to know that your friendships still exist - fabulous you're so involved and happy sharing life with them. Great ... thanks - Hilary
ReplyDeleteyep - kinda rare, but we are lucky
