Back to School Daze

I'M SO EXCITED I CAN HARDLY SIT DOWN LONG ENOUGH TO WRITE.  I've reconnected with my best friend from high school days thanks to facebook networking.  It feels SO good.  It's a validation of having had a past with people in it who actually cared about you and remember you !! My little ego has had a trip to the groomers and is strutting around all fluffed up like a perky poodle.

We last saw one another over 50 years ago and lost track for no good reason, just the gradual drifting and filling up  of time with new faces and places.  She called my parents years ago but didn't leave any contact information and they didn't think to ask and I was left gasping with frustration at my father's version of the phone call: "she asked if you were there, I said no and we hung up..."  I wanted to hang him up, from a high place, I can tell you.

Meanwhile, she's had four children and I've had three husbands.  We have a lot of catching up to do.
She said she was excited and told me she and another friend have been looking for me for years.  Wow. 

I'm celebrating by have three pieces of french toast for breakfast and too busy eating to write any more for today.    Watch this space.
