Old Friends - An Update

I think it was last month I posted a blog about my friend Katrina. Last night we were able to get together. It was great!
I told Maddy sometime in the afternoon that she was coming over last night with her family for dinner and swimming. I admitted to Maddy that I was a bit nervous. Not reason why I should but other than that I hadn't see her since I was 13 years old. That's right, 19 years ago. (I am not old enough to have friends I haven't seen for 19 years!)
So Katrina came over and it was great. We talked and talked and talked. It was better than old times. She has 2 beautiful daughters. One who even looks just like her. They were quite the little fishes too.
I had my camera with us at the pool but I was so into the discussion that I didn't get any photos. That just means that I will have to get together again. She told me about her 9 siblings and how they are all doing in life. I told her what an impact their family had on me. Since there were so many of them, there was almost always someone to play with. Jimmy and I spent MANY hours at their house growing up.
They lived across the street and down the alley from us in the aves. I never again had friends live to close.
I am truly grateful to have Katrina as a friend and back in my life.
