The weather was perfect for dinner next to the lake yesterday. Our regular spot for dinner is a restaurant located right along the south shore of Lake Winnebago, and it was so nice to see moving water where there was ice only a short time ago.
We had eleven classmates in attendance, and as always, we spent the time sharing stories, family news, and other interesting (to us) things. Seems health is always a subject, too. "Did you hear about...?" "How is <insert spouse name here>?" You know. Thankfully, conversation soon turns to something other than our shared aches and pains, and "How did we get old so fast?". Things that comes from life and times shared.
Our meals together usually last about two hours, and just like the old folks we used to giggle about (Early Bird Diners), we were all heading home by 5 pm. Rather than talking about the old times, we're busy making new memories we'll be able to look back on in the years ahead. Of course, we took this photograph to share in our classmate Facebook page, and to have a record of this month's gathering. We'll do it all over again in May.
Sounds like a fun time by the lake.

Happy Weekend (again!)

Yes, isn't it amazing how the things we thought were funny about our elders are now the norm for us. I remember my Dad not knowing what day it was until he looked at the newspaper and now I find myself checking the computer to be sure. Your group always looks so happy to be together.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteI know exactly what you mean. I have to stop and check days/dates/etc. all the time. My blog posts often help keep me on track. sigh Hope you have a nice weekend, dear.

I feel like I know this group.
ReplyDeleteSo many times I say, 'never thought about that when I was thirty.'
Fun time at the lake and headed home by 5, that's a great plan.

Hi Shirley:
DeleteWe have a core group, and I'm sure you're beginning to recognize faces. I agree. I didn't think of such things either. Heading home by 5 suits me just fine.

Sherryofcreateology: My how I lose track of the days as they fly by. Hubby had cataract surgery on his right eye this week and that was two days gone. All is healing well so far. Your group photo is a testament to what a great group of classmate friends you have. Till May…
