Happy Birthday Ann! Hurray,for the Sisterhood!



Tonight we celebrated Ann's 64th birthday! We met at Texas Roadhouse and had a great time visiting with one another. Two (Ann and Sadie) of the six of us are retired and the other four (Sharon, Dixie, Marty and myself) of us work together. Ann and Sadie have been gone from SMI for at least 6 years but we have stayed friends and make a point of celebrating our birthdays together. Lot's of laughs always!!!! We certainly don't do as much as we should but we do make sure that we don't lose our friendships with each other. We'll also meet for movies, coffee and shopping. You just have to make time!!!
We range in age from 41 yrs up to 73 yrs old, and have found, though we are in different stages of our lives, we have so much in common. The youngest of us no longer has her kids at home, the oldest of us has her granddaughter living with her. Three of our group have lost their husbands to death, the most recent in August. We have come from all over the country (CT, TX, AR, CO, and NM) and all met out here at work. The shortest friendship started 15 years ago for me and the longest friendship started over 30 years ago for me. We have seen each other thru alot with our kids, work, etc!!!! Hurray, for our friendship!!!!

That is wonderful how you've kept your friendship going for so many years. Once we get away from the younger years age doesn't seem to make a difference...my closest friends are 20 years younger to 10 years older.
I've heard a lot about your sisterhood!!! Feel I know them all. Keep going!
