When we lived in Montana, we had a group of friends that we played with all the time. We had pizza parties, dessert parties, dances, Halloween parties, Christmas parties and just plain fun wherever we could find it.

Two of these friends, Colleen (from Wyoming now) and Jill from Salt Lake, and their hubbies, met us in SLC for dinner last night. I don't get to see them very often but when we do get together, it's feels like no time has passed. We can talk like it was yesterday and love each other for what we were when our little kids played together and when we played together. We have great memories of what once was and hopefully what will continue to be a close relationship forever.

Jill is the one in the middle of the back row and Colleen is the one in the center in the front row, and I am the one in red next to Jill. Don't gasp....Yes I used to be thin, (actually for most of my life until my pituitary tumor took over my hormones.)

We ate at PF Changs and if you have had the lettuce wraps and crispy green beans, then like me, you know what joy is.

It takes a long time to grow an old friend. ~John Leonard
