Technology affords us a new way to look at old photographs. These are some of my "oldest" friends. Yes, we are all middle-aged ladies now but I am sure that in our minds and hearts this is how we shall remain forever.
I have been on Facebook a long time but I hadn't found too many friends from childhood until several years after I joined.
Most of us are here so that we can see photos of our grandchildren since they don't necessarily live near us.
But, I went looking for these three other girls on purpose. I have been scanning and posting my old photos to write about and to research the area of my childhood.
The four of us pictured here are getting together for lunch and "catch-up". One of us lives in Florida and is coming to visit her mom who still lives in the "plat" of the old neighborhood.
I am the oldest. I just wanted you to know. But, we are only months apart. I am a year ahead in school as I skipped Kindergarten.
I am trying to get some data from city directories to show them. One of us grew up in a different neighborhood so I will have to find her street too.
We hung out together in high school despite our varied interests. We are Protestant, Catholic and Jewish. We went to public and private schools. We are married and widowed. We all have children and grandchildren. We are only children or have siblings.
Different or alike, we have a place in each other lives. Thank you Facebook for reminding us of how important that is....
