Beautifully written. I couldn’t agree more. I had a wonderful time at a place where I had never been before (Claire’s) and was just accepted as someone from high school. No frills, just old friends getting together again. And while I didn’t hang out with most of them in high school, they all knew who I was simply because I had grown up with you/them and have an identical twin brother who did as well. I have known Celia and Anita since 1972 and was too thrilled for words that they were there. There was a dynamic in that room that evening/morning and my ribs clearly felt it the next day from laughing and recovering. Between all of us, I will never forget how much fun that was and can’t wait to do that again.

We all have left Nac and not looked back, but even if we can’t look back, we also can’t stop remembering. Thanks for a wonderful time Dianne.

Diana, I’m sorry we couldn’t get together, too, but understand totally! “Been there", etc. So don’t worry about it. Eva Jean was in Lufkin last weekend, too, unless she didn’t make it, for some reason. She had a family reunion to attend (Holcomb family).

I know that, eventually, we’ll be able to spend a little time together, so am not going to chide you about it! lol

Hi Diana,

Beautifully written. It goes to show that when it’s true to place and from the heart a skilled writer can touch us no matter where we are from, how old we are or what our life experiences are. Superb.

Lorraine

Absolutely, Aunt Bann! Lyl Skeeters Rymer now (and for the past 21 years). She was, if I must choose, my best friend ever. And I never knew another Lyl, either. :) Not even a Lillian (but Lyl isn’t one of those). She’s still as smart and witty and beautiful and awesome as she ever was, and I couldn’t be happier to be back in touch with her.

I’m sorry we didn’t make the rounds while we were in town, but we planned lightly and didn’t even get around to everything we’d planned, even. (I planned to meet a couple of friends in Nac, but didn’t get around to it; the reunion and festivities were a priority.) Helen is no doubt disappointed, as well.

However. We had a wonderful time and have reason to come lurking around more often.

Love you!

Diana, I have to say that I enjoy most of your posts. And reading about your weekend makes me wish I had driven up to see if I could find you long enough to get a hug, at least!

Was that Lyl Skeeters that you referred to? Haven’t thought of her in years, but she is absolutely the only Lyl that I ever knew!

Thanks for the memories! I love the way you write, and enjoy everything I’ve read of yours. Keep up the good work!

Love you!

I’m happy people enjoyed this post because when I wrote it, frankly, I just wanted to record, to the best of my ability, how wonderful it was and how much fun I had and how much I miss my friends. In other words, it was unadulterated sap. Thanks for enduring.
