Who would have thought a year later from this day described below, this fun-filled glorious evening in the company of friends, we would be observing 'social distancing', and would no longer have the pleasures of sitting together asking a stranger to take our photo. Talk about living in the moment, I think that day, all three of us, truly did. We enjoyed ourselves and very much lived the fun, the camaraderie, and the laughter, which at times grew hysterical and interspersed with unstoppable giggling!
One wonders how long it will be before we can sit together again, like this!
With Susan and Madeline at Cranes Roost. We watched the sunset from this spot. This was my mum’s favourite place to walk and feed the fish and the turtles.
We also had a nice walk, fun, laughter, and music. They play piped music in the Park, and I was telling them how I used to enjoy the Boy Bands when they were popular and one of my mum’s favorite songs, that she would sing along with (yes, Boy Band music) and good, wonderful, noble Susan said, “Which band? Are they a Christian Band?” So I played a song sung by a Christian band for her that she had never heard before. It was Sixpence None the Richer’s KISS Me! Yes, I was being naughty. And I conveniently handed her my phone to hold as we walked and talked and laughed!
Then it was Susan’s turn to choose her song. She chose “Oakie from Muskogee”. It sure was lovely and reminded me of the country music I liked! That’s Susan, 100% gold, pure of spirit and intention. Good, Kind, caring, wonderful friend!
Then it was time for Madeline to choose, and she’s the exact opposite of Susan, which is why we all get along so well. She speaks her mind, minces no words, the Beauty Queen 👸 part of her youth is still well and roaring inside of her, and she said something which I can’t exactly recall, but basically that I can choose a song for her! So I continued to be naughty, (I guess the naughty girl-child inside of me has resurfaced again or possibly was just hidden under loads of rubbish that accumulates with life and should not be allowed to in the first place) so I chose something that as a teenager I always thought quite scandalous. To be true to Madeline’s British roots I chose “ Where do you go to my lovely” sung by a Brit! Her reaction, “Oh yes! I like that!!”
Who says we can’t have fun at ‘our’ age?!
