In the Blink of An Eye

Just yesterday I was a freshman at Arcadia High School. I was loving life, thrilled over my baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, taking drivers ed, football games, dances and enjoying wonderful friendships. Wait, it wasn't yesterday but 44 years ago. Yes, time passed in the blink of an eye. The outside is soo much older but not so from the inside looking out!!! I suspect each generation comes to learn how young their parents must have felt while thinking they were so old. Getting together with "the girls" has been such a treat and when we decided to plan a reunion for not the school crowd but the church crowd of kids it snowballed with enthusiasm. It's always thrilling to come together with dear, wonderful friends and in many cases hope you recognize one another. Here are some of the photos from our Thanksgiving gathering. We're wearing our name tags which was necessary. I think we ended up having about 70-75 attend from various years. Oh the joy of rekindling friendships and getting caught up on our lives.
