Get a way girl's vacation

From young women to, hmmmmmmmm, a bit older young women....we three have been friends through it all, the good, the bad, the sad, the ugly....not much we three haven't been through together. We watched as our children went from sweet babies to troubled teens.......some turned around, some died and some are still struggling. But each of us loves the other's children, so it's o.k. to talk about them.

SO, last weekend, we had a long needed girl's get a way. Our goal? Relax and reconnect.

We did lots of this.....

And this.....leaving to go shop and eat!

this......actually eating!

A little of this.

And this!

We might not be the bathing beauties we once or never were, but who cares! The young man who took this picture was humoring 3 senior citizens!

It was really nice to get together and talk and laugh! We three know how to laugh. We reminded each other of things that happened in the way past. We each remembered things the others had forgotten and vice versa. We commiserated over our children and husbands, (surprisingly or maybe not, each of us has had 3 husbands with me being the only one to have had the same one twice, so I've really only had two, but who's counting? Oh, we were!) reminded each other of things long past, sorrowed with one another over the tragedies in our lives and laughed, laughed, laughed as only women who know each other to the core can laugh!

Ladies and gentlemen, as Scripture says, laughter really is the best medicine! We came home tired and refreshed at the same time!
