Friendship

This is our once a month VPHS girls luncheon.
VPHS stands for our High school.

There was so much laughter and fun.

There were 10 of us this time. 
Some of us haven't saw each other since high school!

We went around the table and shared a brief summary of our lives.
It was really neat hearing about the lives of others.
This luncheon is a great thing for us all.
It's fun to be with "girlfriends".  Even though some of us haven't saw each other in years,
it was just like yesterday. 

***************
My birthday started with a breakfast with my friend Gayle.
Then lunch with the VPHS Girls!
Outback Steak house with my family.
Lots of cards and gifts from blogging friends, friends, & family.
Lots of phone calls & songs, & texts, emails & comments on my blog!
And over 150 Happy Birthday messages on facebook!
Thank you all for making my birthday special!

Today I am thankful for.......my friends!

I just caught up on your last posts...a belated Happy Birthday to you...I can't believe that many classmates still get together...Sweet Angel, she did good!....It snowed again last night...unbelievable...just a dusting that covered the ground but didn't harm the roads...there were still parts of snowmen from the snow on the 9th that hadn't melted.
Monday, the Princess told me she wanted to learn to crochet....she is 10 just like your Angel...so we've bought her a skein of yarn to make a scarf...
Stay warm,
Mama Bear

I know I sang Happy Birthday to you on Facebook but I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday on here as well:-) Sounds like you had a wonderful day and what a treat to get together with former classmates for a luncheon. It's always so much fun to see friends you haven't seen in a long time! xoxo

Happy Birthday , Dear Val!
It makes me so happy to hear that you had a wonderful birthday!

I just had to comment on when you visited and said that part about staying home kinda saves money- - I think you are dead right!Not just the gas either-but just that is a big burden and everywhere you look prices are scooting up!I think you are a very wise gal.
