Oops, I didn't know this was going to show up on Flickr! ;-)
I've been playing with my new iPhone, and I still have so much to learn.

Last Saturday I had lunch with three of my best friends from high school.
I hadn't seen them in almost 50 years!!!!

We had such a great time reminiscing about old boyfriends, and dances, and mutual friends... and catching up on the last 50 years of our lives.
And laughing... lots and lots of laughing.

It was sort of surreal because we seemed to pick up right where we left off... yet we didn't look like the 17 (and one 16) year old teenage girls we were then. We are ALL grandmothers now, and 2 of us are Great-grandmothers. What? GREAT-grandmothers? What??? ;-)
Just so you know - I'm next to youngest in age and NOT a Great-grandmother.......yet!

We made a pact never lose touch with each other again and to get together every other month for lunch. I can't wait til the next time!!!

~ps~
We found each other on our HIgh School alumni web-site, and now we keep in touch on Facebook.

EXPLORED: #287

...It just gets prettier every day.

All the blooms have opened (thirteen of them!) since I received this beautiful orchid plant for my birthday more than three weeks ago. Thank you again so much, Lauren!

I found the perfect spot for it, (Madge, you were right), and it has given me so much pleasure to watch the blooms open. Orchids are such a lovely house plant - I hope I can keep it happy.

I'll be back later to visit with everyone - in the meantime, have a great weekend everyone!

EXPLORED: #395

... from my daughter, Lauren.

I am feeling so blessed today because everything in my world is OK.
We are experiencing wildfires in Texas and so many people have lost their homes.
My thoughts and prayers are with them and all the heroic firefighters who are battling so tirelessly to get this horrible situation under control.

Please keep them all in your thoughts.

I'll be back later to visit with you guys. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

We are having a premiere showing tonight of the brand new Blu-Ray edition of one of our favorite movies of all time. I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea, but we have a weird sense of humor and think this movie is hilarious.

We are also having a guest who loves this movie so much that he is bringing a print-out of the entire script!
It should be a fun night!

Don't forget the pizza, John!
