We three have been friends since Jr. High and have seen each other through many good (and bad) times. In 9th Grade, we were all expected to participate in 3-act plays through Mrs. Wilcox's Journalism class, so we did that together. Paulette and I laughed and cried over boyfriends, sneaked out of church meetings to grab a cherry coke, and most recently, she is the one I have gone to help with dog-training search and rescue sessions. Candy and I decided it would be fun in High School to take lunch money, thereby affording us the opportunity to meet and greet all the cute guys that came through our line! Back in the olden days, we weren't allowed to leave the school campus for lunches, so if we weren't in the book store buying candy bars and a pop, we actually ate a school lunch! Novel Idea, don't you think? Candy drove a very old VW, that had blinker signals that literally jumped out of the side of the door panels when engaged. We found it great fun to flip the blinkers on - left, right, left, right, at the drive-in movie; thereby bugging people around and behind us! Such innocent mischief!
Although I do try to write poetry, I took license of some thoughts I found and added upon them with thoughts of my own about our youth and friendship.
CHEERS! To the Girls we Have Become...

Aaah, Sioux, you are a beautiful woman, then as well as now. And you are so fortunate to have had wonderful friends through all those years. All of my friends were of two years duration and then we would move and I would have to find new friends, even throughout my adulthood. Your history is unique in my experience.
Sioux, you are so fortunate to have friends with you still who go way back to your childhood. That's one of the advantages of growing up in one place. You are still the most beautiful girl and most beautiful woman. Enjoy the good times.
Thanks Vicky -- it's been so fun getting back in touch with the group that I grew up in the neighborhood over in Layton with since our class reunion, as well.
