Good Ol' Friends

Yea for good ol' friends!  Paul and Larry grew up together and have lots of fun memories together.  Debbie and I have been friends ever since Paul and Debbie got married.  We love these two and their cute family.  The guys set this date up tonight...actually I think Paul initiated it!  Yea for Paul!

We went to Freddy's for a hamburger and frozen custard.  Freddy's is a good old fashioned hamburger joint.  They might be famous for their steak burgers since they are the only place I know of that has them.  It was yummy and the company fantastic.  I don't get tired of Debbie and Paul.  We had lots to talk about and could have spend a few more hours with them.

I'm glad these guys moved closer (in the house Paul grew up in) because once in a while I will just stop in on my way home.  They're great friends!  Tonight Larry said that Paul's mannerisms were so much like Merrils. (Paul's dad)  I think Paul and his brothers do take after their dad who was a wonderful man.  I loved Paul's parents because they were just so kind and loving.  I sat in the hospital room with his mother after she had passed away.  That was a surreal experience.

I'm glad that we were able to spend a few hours with our friends.  I hope we do it again soon.

Hooper Honey's

Wow I am extremely blessed with such wonderful friends.  Today we, The Hooper Honey's, went to lunch to celebrate Lorraine's birthday.  Wasn't it just last year most of us were turning 50?  Nope!!! It has been six years for me and Lorraine and I will just say (because this is my blog and I can say what I want)  that the years are flying by. A few more blinks and we will be celebrating 60!  We could dress up like really old ladies for a few more years and then we are going to need to reserve our dress and dress up in the past. ☺ (I wonder if our moms have this much fun)

We went to the Corner Bakery today.  I noticed three other groups of ladies meeting as well.  It's a yummy place and it didn't make my tummy sick.  It wasn't even overly busy like I have seen it in the past.  It was nice and we didn't feel rushed. (they even trade your soup if it's too spicy)

I love when you can laugh, cry and even bare your testimony with your friends.  That happened today.  I love being able to share my things that are going on in my life with my friends and have them share their things and have the love and support of everyone.  These women are some of the best born.  They are all so loving, caring and kind.  They are also so fun! They all make my life so much better!

I hope we all live to be over 100 and if by chance I die first, I hope someone will remember that I want chocolate handed out at my funeral! (truth)
