Love for Dinner
Oh yes I love dinner, but last night's was balanced with goodness, delight, and full of love and laughs. I had dinner with a friend from my past. We hadn't seen each other for about ten years. Where did the time go? My question was answered when the kids I knew as children entered the room as adults. I saw where time went when the grandchildren jumped in the swimming pool and sounded like the past revisited.
I was surprised and pleased that the older kids who remembered me took the time to come by. One of the girls brought her new husband to meet me and she told me I hadn't changed a bit while the new husband confirmed that I was indeed tall. Hahahaha. I guess my height gets around.
The best thing about dear old friendships is that no matter how much time goes by we still have that immediate comfort level. We just stepped back in where we'd left off ten years ago. We hit the laugh level and it turned into excellent medicine. When we took a trip to the store to buy dinner the check out guy told us he was enjoying our banter and wanted to hang out with us. We laughed and told him he'd never be the same and he look at us and said he believed. Old man time just stepped aside and let us retreat to not better times, but rather the times that gave us the strength to be who we are now.
Dinner lose its flavor? Call an old friend and let the feast begin.

That's how I am with my friend from childhood. We always pick up where we left off, with lots of reminiscing and laughter and jokes and just an all out good time! Sounds like you had a wonderful evening Lynne!

It was that and more. I felt renewed. Perfect medicine for this trip.
That is true friendship. You aren't dependant on who you are so much as what you are. Glad that you had that chance for renewal.
I'm so looking forward to dinner with friends on Friday!
Ah! Good times with old friends - makes me want to call up an old friend and see where she's been...
dinner sounds and tastes fine lol I don't think its so bad to be forever changed by friends.....well i guess it depends on which type of chair i get at dinner... it might be a point worth noting that my chair is a big ol cactus.
old friends and laughter are better than any medicine mornin glorie, but isn't it strange how the kids get older and we stay the same
.....
Oh isn't it delightful when you get together with old friends! I just love that! I'm so glad you had that experience!
The Ray Charles is very appropiate. You make me want to write about my friend JD.
How lovely. ^-^
According to my philosophical calculations, if humans can enjoy each other's company, then that means people like to talk. If people like to talk, that means people like to share, which means adults are still children at heart.
Dinner and a good dance in the rain, eh?
wonderful!
I just had dinnner with a friend today and yes it was nice to be with a friend.
I love that 'friend' connection! It's just the best. I'm glad you had such a good time. Peace
Sounds like a beautiful time, good for the soul.
I love it!
(and hey, you look just as cool without the hat as with it!)

Made our reservations last night. Yay!

@starmanjones -
Hahaha. Friendships make a difference in a life. So glad I know that little gem of info.
@mlbncsga -
I was thinking the same thing. How did these kids turn into adults while I wasn't aging as fast. Dang.
@VilaSpiderHawkAuthor -
I wasn't going to let anyone know I was in town. I'm glad I changed my mind. Made all the difference for this trip.
@DistantShipSmoke -
Write about him, then tag me so I'll get over to read it. I have a plateful and am not getting around xanga like I'd like to of late.
@Aiamerran -
Friend are just that...lovely.
@RulerofMasons -
The child never leaves us, but we can shove them back so far that they have a hard time finding their way to the surface. Personally, mine lives out loud. (toothy smile)
@JessicaFleur -
Exactly. Wow time sure flew since that dance, eh? Thanks for reminding me. I love how a reference can be so lifting. What a gift. Thanks.
@WakeUpLaughing -
Thankful for friends Bubbles. They make life so much better and old friend can remind us to laugh at the present.

Perfect word for the whole experience.

A handful? You are a blessed woman.
@ZSA_MD -
Thank you Z. Friendship means so much with a bit of history behind it. Have a beautiful day.
@Jaynebug - I know it!
TALL? How tall, exactly?
I have that with my friend Windupherskirt, who invited me to Xanga. She's a peach. We picked right back up where we left off, like yesterday, and she's still just as wild and wonderful as ever.
@SandraErickson -
Is 5'11 tall? When I meet people they remind me that I am just that...tall. Hehehehe I tell them that they are right.
@jamekablue -
I love her! And have never met her.
