So happy you have one of those long term ones also. <br />Sometimes it is scary letting someone you knew when they were a kid to do your hair but she did a great job.<br /><br />RMW,<br />You know they are a real friend when you can pick right up where you left off after a long separation. So glad you have one too.

There is nothing like history to strengthen a friendship.<br /><br />Dee,<br />I am so glad you found each other again. What a treasure. Those childhood escapades are such a hoot when view with adult eyes aren't they. <br /><br />TB,<br />You are so right. That is the main thing--we still have fun and laugh all the time.<br /><br />Ginnie,<br />That was taken just a week or so ago. Yeah, I know, she does not look her age. I tend to look more age appropriate:)) <br />Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-28613702971762370372014-06-18T22:46:57.037-05:002014-06-18T22:46:57.037-05:00Is that a current picture of your friend ?

A friendship that endures for 70 years is like that Christian testament story of the diamond hidden in the field--one is willing to do many things for such a treasure. <br /><br />I, too, have a friend from childhood--Barbara Ann. I met her when I began school at St. Mary's in 1943 in the second grade. We lost touch when she married and I entered the convent, but in the last few years we have laughed often over our stories of childhood escapades! She's been such a support and help to me as I've struggled with the decision as to whether to move back to Minnesota.

Just know you will have a great time when she comes. <br /><br />Naomi,<br />Oh, I am so sorry you lost another friend. When you get our age, you have to hang on to those that are still with us. I don't have many left either.<br /><br />Betsy,<br /> We did but were whipped by that time as it was last. I will do a post about that visit soon. Saw an amazing waterfall on the canoe trip you would have loved. <br /><br />Brighid,<br />Hold yours near and dear. They are worth the time.<br /><br />Linda R. <br />Sisters are the best, friends like sisters are as good.<br /><br />Weekend Windup,<br />Thank you. I sometimes wonder how we made it this long myself. <br /><br />robin,<br />Today it is easy, with snail mail it was not so much but we managed.

Perhaps Facebook???<br /><br />Keith,<br />Thank you and yes I have missed you all so much. I wanted to keep up with the romance of the year.<br /><br />Olga,<br />I am not sure how we managed but I am glad we did. History does take time to build. <br /><br />Granny Annie,<br />Ha ha, you know the truth. I loved having her here but I do have a lot of sore muscles that need a rest. <br /><br />Cranky,<br />Good term--back up Mom. That says it all. <br /><br />Djan,<br />Ha ha,I think you might be the only one I know to run her into the ground. That would be something to see. <br /><br />Linda,<br />There are a lot of fun stuff things to do that fortunately, we can still do. I am just so sad that you have been so darn sick. Be well my friend. <br /><br />Terri,<br />Ha ha, none of my rocks even sparkled though some were pretty. Someone found a 4 plus carat diamond the day before we got there. Sigh. <br /><br />Joey,<br />That is so sad when someone we have a history with lets us down.<br />I sure am glad you had a back up friend. Hang on. <br /><br />pattisjarrett,<br />Yes I did. Thank you so much.<br /><br />Sue,<br />Ever notice that sometimes they remember something you forgot and visa versa. Still the highlights do get delightfully reran.<br /><br />Steven,<br />Had you been at our lake, we would have fought over you--probably as a baby sitting assignment. You are such a youngun.<br /><br />LC,<br />So glad it gave you good memories. It is not totally healed but if it never gets any better, I am OK with that. I can do a lot more now. <br /><br />Fran, <br />Isn't that the truth!! Thanks, it is great to be back. <br /><br />Maggie,<br />Thank you so much. Yes, I am getting un-sore as we speak. The horseback riding was the worst sore wise but worth it. I sure have missed riding.
