People who have not seen each other for forty-nine years can talk for hours. I was the only one who had seen all of the friends in the years since we had graduated. Granted in some cases, it had been a long time, but I had actually spent some time with them. The rest had not been in the same area during those many years. There were some phone calls and Christmas cards, but not always.
It was like pulling a plug on silence. Words just flowed. We will get together again next year at our 50th reunion/homecoming. Rooms have been booked so it is a fairly sure thing. One of our group was not there, but she will be there next year. I am pleased that when we were in the same room we were able to make plans together.
We spent much time in the house or in that area just visiting. One outing included a trolley ride in Galena, IL. Even though I had grown up quite close to this area, I thoroughly enjoyed that ride with all of the information it included.
I had hoped the trees would be at their peak, but it was not quite there even though there was some beauty to be seen.
Here is a picture of the four of us and the second picture includes two spouses.
It was a wonderful time to reconnect.
