Yesterday I attended a wonderful luncheon at my sister's. Two of her best friends from childhood were there and I was honored to be included. All three of these beautiful women were beautiful girls I admired and emulated. Because they were "older" they did not have much use for my sister's baby sister but they were always nice to me. Even though I am bigger and look older than they, yesterday they took me back in time and I was 12 again. It does turn out though, that even I have a great deal in common with them now. We are each a S.O.G.W.P.I.P. (Silly Old Grandma With Pictures In Purse).
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

Ha! I hope I'm a SOGWPIP one day. :)
ReplyDeleteI love moments with old friends when we can go back in time like that. I'm glad you had fun!
Just don't rush the grandma business Scarlet! LOL
ReplyDeleteI have suddenly realized that your blog has gotten way ahead of me and I can't imagine why. I'm going to catch up soon.
I remember thinking all my oldre brother's friends were so cool. They were only a year ahead in school but it might as well have been a century. I guess I was the pesky little sister that mom always made him drag along. What fun to see them and have fun things in common!
ReplyDeleteI saw the headline and wondered what that stood for! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy picture, I am pleased you had a grand time. It's good to go back in time once in a while.
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Yvonne.
What pretty women!!
ReplyDeleteThey look like a fun group. You are lucky indeed to have such friends!
ReplyDeleteThat looks likes a fun group. you are very lucky to have such friends.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Beautiful! Made me smile, too!
ReplyDeleteI too was wondering about the title. I may be a grandmother, but no pictures in the purse. It's nice to reminisce with old friends. I'm glad you had such a good time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun visit. You've got wonderful grandkids to brag about and show off!!!
