OK, that would be Peaches and HERB not Peaches and Cream. Man, I’m getting old!

P.S. And now I’m going to have that Peaches & Cream song in my head all day long…Thanks!

I love your description of decades of near silence as just a comma in the paragraph of our lives. I so enjoy my the newer friendships in my life. They are irreplaceable. But I am really looking forward to reconnecting next year with some of those from the past. We always pick right back up where we left off, years and years ago.

How nice that you could do that. I’ve lost track of most of my high school friends but since I graduated in ‘55 that’s not too surprising.

Great post…made me miss my best friend. We talk often by phone or e-mail but its never the same as being able to hug her neck and spend the day chatting face to face. Glad you had a nice time.

I recently reunited with some of the “girls” I grew up with and I have to say that there is just nothing as good as getting back with people who knew you “back when”.

I loved this story of “driving over the pass to visit old friends”. As an Army brat, I seldom run into friends from my past – but sometimes it happens. I also love how (like with cousins)it does seem like very little time has elapsed and it really is that you can just pick up conversation with these people – because they do seem to know you. It’s relationships where there is very little pretense – most of the time – and you are able to just get right to the “good” stuff. What a pleasant trip for you – I’m jealous.

I too love the way you can pick up a conversation with old girlfriends even if you haven’t seen them for a decade or more. Men can’t do that. Only us girls.

I was at a local function as a vendor, for a group of nurses, last night. Imagine my total shock and awe when a woman my age came over and asked if I were “Barbara” – I didn’t think I’d ever seen her before. Come to find out, she was my best friend until I was 8 years old! Then I moved away – that was nearly 50 years ago! She and her little sister were my constant companions when I was little.

I was so sorry my mother is not still alive so I could tell her that I’d seen Anne again after all these years. No one else in my family is old enough to have known her. Like you, there are very few people who remember me as a child, and I feel like I lose a part of myself each time another one slips away. So it’s a double treasure when one comes back into your life again!
