What happens when you get a bunch of 60+ year olds together? They act like a bunch of teenagers, of course! There is nothing like having those friends that no matter how long it has been since you got together, you don’t miss a beat. We are so fortunate to have several friend groups that are like this. This particular group of friends all went to high school together, with one exception – Steve OD married a Quincy Girl, so I guess he’s OK.
We get together a few times each year, and when we do, boy do my cheeks hurt from laughing. This get-together was at Anne and Mark’s pool, and as always, we needed to take cover from the guys with their squirt guns! At least there were no injuries this year. Last year we had to set up a triage unit with Carol and me staffing it.
We also all try our hand at target shooting with a pellet gun, very safely I must add.
Mark always cooks us something delicious in his smoker – ribs this time, sometimes salmon. Anne likes to make a signature cocktail of the day – margaritas sometimes, but this get-together, she had 2 choices – lemon blueberry sangria and piña colada margaritas! Both so good!
Always a great day that is broken up with many different things to cheer about (probably too many), and a bonfire at the end of the day.
Thank you to Anne and Mark for hosting a wonderful time!
