Day 248 - The Friends of My Youth

We spent a whole day in camp, cleaned housed, kicked back, and took in a movie.  We enjoyed a very lazy Sunday morning and departed the RV park around noon for our drive north to Wilmette, IL and the home of very old and dear friends not seen since I left Chicago in 1993.  Through Facebook we reconnected a few years back and have been planning this reunion ever since.

We arrived late afternoon and parked the RV on a very upscale neighborhood street, all the time wondering if the local constable was going to come by and ask us to move...smile.

Dave and Lurene had gather a few of the old gang and it was awesome to see how we have all changed...and not changed.  After a few minutes sitting around a big table full of food and drink, it was as if time had never passed.  We swapped stories and photos of our kids, talking about the old times, and about the present.

As a point of humor, in those days I was pretty conservative and a staunch Republican.  They were all amazed at how liberal I have become in my old age...LOL.

Tons of hugs and promised to not make it another 25 years and we were off on a long night drive to Madison, WS and the home of another friend.
