Hand-Me-Down Friends

We had a fun night tonight eating supper with great friends from our very earliest married days in Tennessee. The Roberson Family, (Johnny, Barbara, Vaughn and Page) are down here for their annual beach vacation and we always look forward to catching up with them. I wrote about our first Young Married Sunday School Class in this post (see the second paragraph). Well, Barbara was the "inaugural Mom" in the class, paving the way for what was soon to become a VERY prolific group! When Vaughn came along, bless her heart, she was like the class baby. And we were all like a big, extended family of aunts and uncles. Well, seeing her tonight at 13!! was a big, ol' reminder that we ain't the young kids we once were. But we are the friends that we once were (and will always be.) We spent the meal laughing, remembering, and telling old stories for our kids........ who, by the way, have decided that if their parents are friends then they should be, too. It was so much fun to watch them laughing and playing together within minutes of our getting together tonight. Here's a pic of our two "youngests" sharing a shake for dessert. Good times..........
