Thirty-Six Years is No Time At All

For me all girls boarding school was the place that I made some of my truly great life-long friends. Something about sharing the same small space while developing into the people we were meant to be.
Two of my most wonderful friends were Shannon and Julie who were in the class behind me. Julie was from Maine and was as opposite from Fort Worth, Texas native Shannon as two people could be but the three of us made a strong threesome especially when we were with our advisor friend Warren.
Despite our friendship I had lost contact with Shannon and Julie partially because we did not share the same reunion years. After college Shannon went back to Texas and Julie to Maine, but Warren kept us informed on what each of us were doing over the years.
Today for the first time in thirty-six years we are all together and it is if we have never been apart. It helps that we are visiting Warren without our spouses or children so we quickly have fallen into our old roles. Warren tried to reign us in, but to no avail because we have had such a great time reliving old times.
Today was just the beginning of our three day reunion and I predict not much sleep, lots of ice cream and constant laughing. Sounds a lot like boarding school. Being back to together after thirty-six years is plain ‘ole  great.  Why did we wait so long?
