Our group woke up by 8 am and filtrated out of our rooms and all had coffee together. Late morning a group of us ladies walked main street to find unique things for purchase. I picked up a few funny gifts for people.
Our group was having a Chinese auction. They called off the winners. Paul won a gift basked and he was pumped. I didn’t win a basket, but I did win by enjoying the weather.
We had dinner with two other couples over looking the river. It was our St. Lucia crew again. We ate dinner at the place we birthed the idea of a group vacation. We discussed what a vacation in 2027 would look like.
Afterward we had a tailgating situation for an hour or so. We then headed to a local bar. There were so many people.
We were blocking the entrance to the bar. The bouncer was very even keeled and was able to manage people appropriately.
Heather and I decided we were going to pose in interesting ways in the background of people’s photos. We kept a close watch on people with their phones. Ha! We giggle about people reviewing their photos and seeing us in the background. It will give them something to talk about when reviewing their photos from the weekend.
There were many interesting conversations at the bar. “Hey remember when we all had crabs?” One of the guys said. Then proceeds to tell the detailed story of how they were treated. There was much laughter. Much laughter. It felt good to smile so much.
You never know when it will be the last time you see someone. Make each moment count. Say yes to things even if you don’t want to do them. That is what makes the best memories.
Patti you are so right! I just returned from my 35th "Mental Health Weekend" with a group of girls I journeyed through high school with. We are all 70 this year and we had a wonderful weekend enjoying each other's company, shopping, getting massages and discussing what 70 looks like. A sunset cruise cancelled because of wind didn't dampen our fun. So far we are all here to celebrate and I cherish every time we meet.
ReplyDeleteAwe Pam, I love this! It is so fun to have a group of people you can pick up right where you left off! Stupid wind! Hopefully next time you can do a sunset cruise!!!!
