The Group still lives!


Ok this weekend was pretty fabulous. Thanks to Facebook and a few emails I have managed to hook up with a few friends from the past. I had not lost touch with all of them ok actually I only kept in touch with 3 of them, but we did hook up. Way back in the day/yeah I would say early 80's and 2 from the 70's was when we became friends. At a young age of 16 my best friend Patty and I decided to work in the mall at JcPenney and we developed a nice friendship with a few people. We all would go out together have parties in our homes and we decided we need a name for our group so we called ourselves The Group. Yes I know extremly original what can I say. Well after countless emails and endless "no can't make it on that day" we finally picked this date out and a place here we are. Not everyone was able to make it but we figured we needed to make the effort and do it and keep it up. We went and had lunch then went to see the move Bride Wars and hung out in "the mall". Oh yes best part was we decided to play Power Ball Lotto and we all bought a ticket with the same number and decided if we won we would have to have a party at the Plaza in New York - you have to see the movie to understand. Well no party at the Plaza - at least not now. But the memories of that afternoon/early evening was priceless.
It made me realize life is short and one should thank their blessings for special friends. Making a little effort to make it happen is so rewarding. We could of easily given up after all this get together has been in the works for 3 months but kept up the effort and gosh I am so glad we did! This was Saturday's event.
Friday was dinner at the lodge with some friends and that was fun too! We had the best time eating, laughing and planning a Rocky Horror Movie Party. Then once we did that we broke out the Wii Bowling and played quite a few games.
Yes such the life of the rock star.
What else will life bring...
Stay Tune...
