Ya Got ta Have Friends ~

A couple of weeks ago, I experienced the great pleasure of having breakfast with all my best girlfriends at one time. We all went to high school together and I'm proud to say, we remain close to this day. Of course, because we all have lives of our own now, there have been some time warps where some of us have gone a while and not seen or talked to some of the others, but the minute we do regain some contact, it's like we've never been apart at all.
This picture below was taken by a little old lady coming out of the restaurant we had been in. I asked her to take the group photo and she warned me that she was not very good at taking pictures because her hands shake. I think she did a fine job, don't you? :)
We have our 25th year class reunion this coming September and I just hope the rest of the class is as well preserved as we are.
I'd like to dedicate the song, 'Thank You for Being a Friend', to my best buds! The lyrics are written below for your reading pleasure.


Thank You For Being A Friend - Song Lyrics

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
your heart is true you're a pal and a confidant
I'm not ashamed to say I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew
You would see, the biggest gift would be from me and the card attached would say,
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
If it's a car you lack I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need, anytime of the day or night
I'm not ashamed to say I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
And when we both get older with walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear, even though it's hard to hear I will stand real close and say,
Thank you for being a friend(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend(I want to thank you)
Thank you for being a friend
And when we die and float away into the night, the Milky Way
You'll hear me call, as we ascend I'll see you there, then once again
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for being a friend
Whoa, tell you about a friend(Thank you right now, for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend(I wanna thank you, thank you, for being a friend)
Thank you for being a friend !
