Isn't it nice when you can just pick up where you left off with a friend from your past? Yep.....But twenty-five years ago!!!!! That is what Gommy did this week. Through the wonderful social network of Facebook, a very dear friend from Gommys' early childhood found her way to reconnecting with Goms. We picked up just where we had left off all those many years ago. And we did so seamlessly, which is pretty amazing if you think about it.It was sooo funny getting ready for our breakfast get-together.....You would have thought Gommy was getting ready for a date instead of meeting up with an old friend. But you know, it had been a very long time since we had seen each other and who know how she might look??? Goms had to look her best too. As soon as I saw her at our rendezvous place.......I knew her immediately and she hadn't changed one iota in all these years......well, we have all changed a little but for the most part, I would have been able to pick her out in a crowd. Of course, she was polite about my looking pretty good as well.
My friend and I actually go back some 50 years.....we went through our first marriages together too. My late husband and I would go over to her and her husbands' house and play games and cards when we were all newlyweds. It was before Gommy had any children and my friend and her husband had a son at the time. Those were some mighty good times when you think we didn't have a 'pot or a window' in those early years. It just proves that you CAN have a good time with little or no money for entertainment.
Another pretty astonishing thing is that when we were kids, we lived just blocks away from each other and when I asked about the rest of her family and we got to one of her brothers....I asked where he lived and she mentioned an area and it is the same area where Grandpa and I live now and then I asked what street it was and it turns out it he lives on OUR very street! He happens to live just 6 blocks from where we live right now.....Is that ironic or spooky or what??? We ended up living just blocks away from each other after 50 years had passed. That is awesome, if you ask Goms.
Well, it is a very nice circumstance to get reacquainted with a very good friend from ages ago. It is definitely a 'Blast from the Past"......Gommy LOVES it!!!! Great things keep happening in our lives all the time. Can't wait for the next great surprise that is around the corner......Hope some of you have a chance to reconnect with an old friend some day......Have a great day all my blog-friends out there!! Hugs and Mush, Gommy
