Lunch with Irene and Ms. Jean

Ms. Jean and Irene picked me up about 11:30 for lunch today. We went to the Olive Garden. We had great food and a great time. It's always fun to get together with them. Telling stories about our younger days and sharing present-day experiences. Ms. Jean and I were confessing, but Irene was keeping quiet on her escapades. I really miss seeing them. We grew up together as family and went to the same church. Irene was my first piano teacher even though she's not much older than I am. By some standards, we are in the senior citizen category, but we're young at heart. Most folks would tell you I don't act my age - it's only a number anyway. Since it's only a number, it means I don't have to pay particular attention to it. I really liked the ages between 28 and 32 so some days I chose to "be" that age. Other days, my body reminds me I'm older, but my heart is always young. God gave us beautiful weather to celebrate our friendship today. He is spectacular! (Thought I was wearing out "awesome.") He blesses us with friendships that last a lifetime. I'm thankful for Ms. Jean and Irene. They have played a major part in my life. Can't wait to have lunch with them again. Next time, we are going to get Irene to share voluntarily or we will have to do some detective work. Either way, can't wait until we do it again. Love you ladies!
