New Hampsha

My friends from back east came to visit ME this past weekend and it really was more awesome than I thought it'd be. I was nervous because sometimes people change and you're just not sure if you have anything in common but that was not the case with these two. If nothing else, we had a bond in common I had totally forgotten about...

It was a total kick back weekend. We didn’t really have big plans…we just hung out and talked until my throat hurted. Friday was fun because we started the day with the amazing world-famous French toast at the Tower café, then we visited my favorite watering hole and later I had a few old friends come over for some games. Which, with this group, didn’t get very far but that’s okay because I was losing anyway.

And Saturday was a total kick back day too because we floated in Janet’s pool all day (Thanks Janet!!). I even left Kody at home so we could actually relax. When we ran out of the few beers I brought over I ran home, re-supplied and then grabbed Kody. (just to show you I’m not a super bad mom) We danced, sang in to beer bottles & vacuum handles, ate Lisa’s delicious home-made salsa & guac, played a few card games and called it an early night. Well…they were all early nights really. They were on their east-coast time and I’m always in bed by 8. The only time it didn’t mesh was in the morning. “um…helloooo?? Can you pipe down? It’s not even light out!”

I was surprised at how much of my high school days I actually remembered. I was worried we’d not have much to talk about, but, as I said…my throat hurts. They brought up people I had totally forgotten about and told me what their lives have been like since high school. Some great; some not so good. Both Lisa and Jnaice have college educations so that puts me in the not so good category but I thank the state of California for helping me there..hmmm….

Sunday we went to Red Hawk Casino, talking Janice out of going to San Francisco which is kind of a shame but I’ll make them come out again and we’ll go there too. Nobody won but it was still fun going somewhere I always go with my early girlies.

So now my friends are gone and I am totally sad. I even teared up after I dropped them off Sunday evening. I thought for sure I’d welcome my alone time, but, not so. They were such comfortable & wonderful company…like chenille slippers; I’d wear them anywhere, all the time (no, I’m not gay).

There were many more pictures taken but Lisa and Janice have most of them…I’ll just post a few so you can put names to faces.

Within our first hour of seeing each other. poor Lisa...we suffocated her. (notice my awesome new red sox hat?)
