I have just had one of my oldest friends for dinner and it was so doggone GOOD- not the dinner- although I do think I made a rather nice one- but just talking for hours about everything with someone who knows you so well. She and I were pregnant together twenty years ago. We were their sponsors when they joined our church. Their first, Emmylou, was 14 months old and CW was still flat in a baby seat. So we had them to brunch after church and Emmylou ate a lot of pineapple and had diarrhea and climbed the bookcases and took everything apart. She scared me. As they grew, Emmylou stayed wild. Marianne was born and then Ammo, and we spent every Friday afternoon together with a 6-pack in her back yard letting the kids play and waiting for our husbands (Dan was a young lawyer, BOb a junior VP with a bank) to come home. Then we all moved out of the neighborhood, but we have managed to stay in touch which makes me really happy. Emmylou, despite her wild ways, is a junior at TCU- in nurses;s training, and Marianne is a rising sophomore at Vanderbilt. Now,here we are talking about the future in completely different terms. Not exactly retirement--- we're not quite there--- but scaling back-- and it's just so odd.... It really was just yesterday we sat in her backyard under the pecan tree....it really was....
