Here we are... not really. But this could have been us at one stage or another. We like to say "We are still HOT, only it comes in flashes now".Today I am flying to Atlanta to meet my peeps. I have been going on trips with these girls for 22+ years. We usually meet some
where in the US and party hardy for a few days. Great food, lots of talki ng, a romantic comedy or two, shopping... and everything else girls like to do (without kids or husbands) We will miss Angie this year... at the last minute she had to attend her niece's wedding and festivities. Hopefully sh e can use her ticket for another fun get-a-way. We have figured out over the years that short weekend trips are the best without a lot of scheduling. We once went on a road trip to Bar Harbour, Maine (and many places in between) and almost killed each other after a week in the car. Although, we had the best clam chowder ever... at many different place along the coast. After all these years, we are like sisters... and you know what that can mean. But all in all, we love each other like sisters and have been through a lot together. At our last gathering, it wasn't our usual fun and games. It was the funeral for Theresa's (one of the girls) 26 year-old son who died of leukemia and left a wife behind. It was a very sad occassion but we were there in force to support Theresa in one of the hardest things of her life. She was an amazing example to all of us and has weatherd the storm well. This year we will be celebrating her new title-to-be: Grandma. We are so excited she has some happy news and will have a new little person to love. So wish us luck and I will post when I return.

Girls weekends are the best! I hope it's a scream (did I say that right, I remember you always used the word "Scream")
