January Jollies


Richard and I attended this play at the Mesa Arts Center. Mesa High School performed it and it was really a lot of fun. Neither of us had seen this play before and we both really enjoyed it. Richard will be disappointed with me saying this, but this play was even better (in my opinion) than ABBA MANIA.

Also this month, I had an opportunity to go to lunch with some friends that I don't get to see very often. We had so much fun! We ate at Charlestons, which I had never been to - Delicious! We all used to live in the same Ward many years ago and now we are all mother-in-laws and all but one of us is a Grandma. Talk about some funny stories. Next to me is Shelle Napier, who now lives in Japan, but just bought the house across the street from me and will be moving in April 2012 (hooray) and our friend Judy Bittner who had her first child get married last month.




To the left is Sheryle Crisp who told one of her sons that she was out to lunch with her friends and he told her that was ridiculous because she didn't have any friends. What our children think and what is actually the truth is often very different and we all got a laugh out of him teasing her. To the right is Maria Westbrook who has survived three weddings but sent out her first missionary this month.

The lovely lady in light blue, Kay Hatch, sat at the table and laughed with us while she shared that her first grandchild was being born that day at a nearby hospital. When we all lived in the same neighborhood we all had young children and now time has passed and our children have grown. Lucky for all of us our friendships and love for each other have grown too. Whenever we do happen to get together it is as if we have never been apart and we can laugh and talk as if we see each other on a weekly basis. Friends like this are priceless. Thanks for the fun afternoon and the walk down memory lane ladies!
