THE SECOND DAY OF STROLLING DOWN MEMORY LANE...........

I've decided to tell three stories

the first being

Two Families

the second being

Seven Families getting together

for summer parties

and

November birthday celebrations

the third being

A trip to Prince Edward Island

shared by seven friends

I googled 'friend' on the computer

Value that is found in friendships, is often the result of a friend demonstrating the following on a consistant basis

The tendancy to desire what is best for the other

Sympathy and empathy

Honesty

Mutual understanding

Trust in one another

THESE ARE OUR FRIENDS

WAY BACK WHEN!!!

Oh.... we were young and foolish

OMG

Dig those plaid pants

Here's Jack

Mugan as a young Mom

We played volleyball at Stag Island

and

at the home of Jack and Janette

on the river road

Chatham

We also played horseshoes

Children gathered

Lynn and Amy

Kelly and Sharron on the same team

CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS

BIRTHDAY CAKES

FOR MANY YEARS THE COUPLES GOT TOGETHER

FOR A WEEKEND OF CELEBRATION

TO HONOUR THE BIRTHDAY LADIES AND MEN

EACH SPOUCE HAD A BIRTHDAY IN NOVEMBER

The cake is there but we also have Donna Mae

holding up a large photo of the gang

which had been made into a puzzle

Check out Mr. Finn

snuggling up to Mugan!!!!!

On one occasion Joe could not attend a gathering of the friends so

HE SENT ME WITH A DATE!!!!!

I must say

He was not as handsome as my husband

ON TO THE BEST

 

WE HAD SOME GREAT LAUGHS

Shared hugs

and

Cigars

EACH YEAR THE 'BIRTHDAY PERSON'

Was responsible for bringing

 birthday gifts

As you can see

they had to think outside the box

Not sure what Mugan and Sue are up to??????

They look good though

Joe's gifts to everyone

NEW CLOTHES FROM THE GOOD WILL

Lovely, just lovely!!!!

Life doesn't get any better than this

PERSONALIZED LICENSE PLATES

And

Your very own plaque

We even had jackets

with

November displayed on the sleeve

WOW

YOU MUST BE FAMILIAR

WITH THE SONG

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR

WE ARE FRIENDS

Such a wonderful journey

we've  shared

We couldn't have done  it so far without

each other
