Good Friends And Good Times

Today was a great day of hanging out with some of my high school classmates. We gather at least once a year in January to celebrate the anniversary of a classmates death. We do some sort of craft project and this year the craft was to paint a pot and plant it with pansies. This also involves some food and a few beers. Followed by a visit to my friends grave site to pay respects. We then place the graft at his head stone.

It is so nice that we can all get together many years after having graduated and be able to maintain a friendship that goes beyond just being classmates. I feel grateful that my friends parents host the event every year. It is always fun and exciting. Officially it has been 9 years but it will always seam like yesterday. His name was Ryan and he will always me missed.

This is the part where I express extreme gratitude for my life and health. Where I feel thankful to have great friends and even though we don't see each other daily or even weekly at least through the magic of facebook and even phones we can keep in tough.

The picture above shows a sample of the pots we made. It is a lot of fun to craft and can be therapeutic. Let's admit that some of us get so drawn to working and working that we forget to have a life and do things that can get a bunch of us together talking, laughing and having a good time. Here's to you having your good time with good friends.
