In my last post, I talked about my childhood girlfriends and our upcoming beach trip. I started thinking about my mother and her girlfriends, many of whom she has also known since her school days. These women are a strong group and they have been a wonderful example of how to support one another through both good and bad - the happy times of babies, childraising, weddings, grandchildren and their own long marriages. But they have also been there for some harrowing times - serious illnesses, deaths of spouses, parents, children and sbilings, children who were in trouble or just troubled and the many bumps and bruises that life brings to us all.
There they were at a charity fashion show when they were in their 30's. Now in their mid 70's to early 80's, they have no less fun - bridge, trips, Saturday morning breakfast every week, Buddy Dinner once a month and almost daily contact. Here they are at a recent cocktail party to introduce the new daughters-in-law of Betzy's grandsons.
Here's to our women friends and all the joy, fun and support they bring to our lives!
