FRIENDS AND LAUGHTER – WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE!

Okay here's the deal.  I had such a shock yesterday that I told a friend that she needed to start digging a big hole because, "I'm just gonna shoot myself!"

Why?  Well, I was talking to a neighbor and she said she was going to her 50th. high school reunion the next day.  I laughed and said, "Gee, that's a long time" and then I asked her the FATAL question, "What year did you graduate?"  When she said 1962 I almost fell over!!!  "Can't be 50 years" I told her "because I graduated in 1963 and it just can't be 50 years, it can't, it can't, no way."  Now I now that I am 66 and I graduated when I was 17 - but OMG 49. almost 50 years!  I just don't feel that old!!!

So being the kind, nice, sharing person that I am and because I always share jokes and laughter and good news I called my long time friend and shared this bit of news with her and then added, "I didn't want to be depressed all by myself!"  I won't tell you her response but then we figured out that we have been friends for 55 years.  So now I feel much better, she on the other hand is not feeling so chipper. Oh my, how time does fly.

Best, (as best as this old broad can be!)  giggles.

MY FRIEND - SO FUNNY!

After I told one of my pals the 50-year reunion story she tried to cheer me up with this email. And it worked!

“You look Ma Va Les Da Lin!! We just don't care how long it has been...don't think about it! No one in your class looks like they used to and you would not recognize them if you passed them in the street! Just start out like you are a new person!

One time my sister and I were in Vegas and we got stuck at a casino when the light rail stopped running till 7:00 the next morning. Kathy was in one of those electric skooters that she rented, but costs a fortune to call a special company bus service to drive you back to your hotel. Too dangerous for us to walk the sidewalks so we decided to pretend to ourselves that we just awakened and were starting out fresh...we gambled all night in this casino...no restaurants were opened either. We caught the light rail at 7:00 and went on down to several other areas that we wanted to see before we went back to our hotel to crash...still pretending to ourselves that we were rested. Finally, we got back to our hotel after all that time and having a bit of lunch and went to our room. I went straight to the shower. Meanwhile, as I came out of the shower, the phone rang and it was her husband asking what time he was to pick her up at the airport. We told him it was not today that he was picking her up, but tomorrow. He told us the date and we realized that at that time, we were supposed to be checking out and soon to be catching the plane to return home! I can tell you...in my wet hair...I about died! OHG! Well, we had lost a day and did not even realize it since we had fooled ourselves. I had to change all of the reservations with the airline and get an extension with the hotel and we have enjoyed that story ever since! Our lost day!

We may be old, but we can still have a ton of fun! No one ever could believe my age, since I am still spry and wear fun clothes and wear my hair long and very curly. I could care less what anyone thinks, so I am a bit ecentric! Anything goes after 65 years! I found that you can look the most handsome darling young guy in the face and tell him how adorably handsome he is and get away with it, too!
Good day, deary,”

I am always glad to hear these stories because it means that I’m not the only looney old broad out there!
