Fun lunch today...

Today I met 2 girlfriends for lunch that I lived with in 1966 in my first ever apartment in Chicago! At that time there were 4 of us living together (the 4th now lives in Portland, OR). We had all gone to h.s. together and rented a 2-bedroom apt. on the far north side of the City.

It was so much fun reminiscing today about the old times and catching up on our current lives. We've seen each other periodically throughout the years at class reunions and such but really haven't had time to just sit down and talk. We sat there for 3 hours chatting non-stop!

We had lunch at Biaggi's and 2 of us had butternut squash ravioli (yum) and the 3rd had a chopped chicken salad. It was so nice of them to just let us sit there and chat on forever.

Great fun!!

Blu that sound like so much fun. I could hear the laughter in your post. How long did you all live together? I bet 3 hours still wasn't long enough. Are you all planning to get together again?


(((hugs))

I think that restaurants across the country are beginning to be more accepting of "long" lunches when it comes to a bunch of women!

Blu, that sounds like so much fun and I'm so glad you got to do it. Too bad the one from Portland couldn't fly out for lunch. lol I am going to have to try something with butternut squash. I don't think I have ever tasted it. Everyone on all the cooking shows is using it these days.

Blu what a lovely time spending it with old friends and roomies. Those convos are the best! I hope you ladies get a chance to hang out again. Did you take pictures?

Yes, we're definitely going to get together again...maybe in Feb. One of the gals (and her DH) lives downtown (Chicago) so the other gal and I will take the train to the City and meet her down there. We'd like the weather to be a little nicer for that trip tho.

I'm glad to read this Pam.
Everytime I lose someone close to me I feel challenged to live a little BIGGER and bolder - maybe you're experiencing a bit of that.
