Connecting with the past by staying in touch with old friends…

I recently corresponded with an old friend that I haven't been in touch with for a while. We were best friends in high school and then stayed in touch through college. We were both in each other's weddings as a maid of honor and then once we had children spent many hours together to pass the time while our kids played together. Then in 1997 when our kids were 7, 6, 5 and 4 years old I went back to work and she had another baby. Our lives took different directions and we lost touch as we went down separate paths in life. Now that all our children are older I hope that we can stay in touch again on a regular basis. She told me today that she thought of me as she was going through some old photos and found one of our kids together at a beach house that we rented together one summer. Here is a page I found in one of my scrapbooks of when the kids were younger. It is of my daughter (Winnie the Pooh) and her daughter (Barney) when they were 2 and 1. Here's to a future of staying in touch more frequently, my friend – let's have a cup of tea and a walk down memory lane when you have some time!

I remember that day! We went to Jeffrey's grandparents house? Was I a lion? Nala? I think we got in trouble for sliding down the stairs on our butts.
