Our group was a little smaller this month. One of our regulars fell off her bicycle and broke her forearm. First, let me say "Kudos, kid!" I consider myself fortunate if I don't fall down putting on my underwear in the morning! I'm not making light of her injury as she had surgery to repair it yesterday, but man, I admire her vitality for even trying to continue to ride.
Other classmates were out of town, and one is undergoing chemo. Her treatment was yesterday, so she wasn't up to joining us. We pray for her every day.
As usual, our group had a great time catching up. One of us took a cruise to Alaska, while the rest of us stuck close to home. Others will be traveling to the east coast soon, so we'll have something new to talk about when they return. We talk about our grandkids, families, (sometimes) aches and pains, and of course, this time they all wanted updates about Handsome.
We all care deeply about each others families and lives, and I think that's one of the nicest things about our entire group. We chose the date for our next dinner before going our separate ways, and we're all already looking forward to the next time. Old friends really are the best!
