A gathering of friends
Last night was great. I attended a mini high school reunion at a friend's home. My friends and I recently had a reunion with the entire class but of course you can't really catch up with everyone in a function hall atmosphere. So some of us vowed to get together after the holidays for a more intimate evening.
We had such fun. The dress was casual and we all gathered in a cozy living room to have drinks and appetizers. The conversation was easy as we caught up with each other's lives.
For hours, we talked about books, love, diets, aging parents, careers, our homes, hopes and dreams. We started out as one group with a single conversation and then broke into smaller groups as some of us went into the kitchen where side conversations emerged.
It was midnight before I noticed the clock. We had been talking for 4 1/2 hours! I paused for a moment and watched my high school friends engaged in conversation. I realized how lucky I am to be a part of this amazing group of intelligent, attractive, joyful women.
We vowed to meet again this year. We want to keep in touch after so many years apart.

My classmates are far away. I did get in touch with an old bestie on Facebook {and I don't care much for Facebook!} and we have been emailing back and forth catching up. Funny, we each have changed so much yet I feel like I know her as well as 30 years ago! Time works in mysterious ways!

That's the kind of reunion my HS girlfriend & I like to do at her home in my hometown. We gather the people that we want to be able to visit with in a casual environment with no pressures or pretenses. My friend Cindy is the perfect hostess and makes everyone feel so comfortable. It's so great that you have that same opportunity. Makes for an incredible experience!
Hugs, Sherry
PS Christmas has been taken down but my little lights will be working for me all year long! I love them! Thank you Sweetie!
I have moved away from my hometown and it's so difficult to see my old high school friends. I'm hoping to attend my next high school reunion.

I am still in contact with my school friends, and I love it when we meet up!
