Old Friends

This is the story of two old friends, who met over 25 years ago.

When I first moved to VA. from Calif. over 25 yrs ago it was 3 days before my 16th birthday. I was sophomore in high school and scared to death.

My first day of school the Principal was walking me around, showing me the school and where everything was, when this girl walked by, the principal asked if she would show the new girl around. Well the rest is history, we were best friends from that day on. Even though Joan was a year older than me, we still did everything together. She rode horses and I was amazed at all the ribbons and trophies she had won, since I had not been around horses much, I was fascinated.

She was smart and popular and everyone knew her. I was known as that CA. Girl.

I think they all thought I should be carrying around a surf board. LOL

Her dad took she and I to my first concert (don't ask me to remember who it was)

I was Joan's date to her senior prom, don't ask me why she didn't have a date. Just for those of you wondering I had a date for my senior prom.

We got into so much trouble together, the tales I could tell. After high school, she went off to college and soon got married and we didn't see each other for quite some time, but when we do it's as if we had never been apart.

Anyway, I was at my daughters Christmas program at school last night and there she was, I had not seen her since we planned a 20 year class reunion. She looked terrific, but as usually she had a bunch of turmoil and trouble going on in her life.

Just thought I would share a little memory this morning, thanks for letting me ramble
