Trip to Colorado ~My Highlight was Spending the Day with a BFF from High School.

This was just the best day.
Hubby had to go to work and I had the day to play.
Jan arranged to have the day off from her work.


We had a lovely lunch here at Marlows,
right on the 16th Street Mall.

We girls go way back...
This was our "squad" in 1973.
We spent time together in classes, cheerleading,
at piano festivals, at sleep-overs, group dating, 
and youth group activities at our church.

Actually, Jan and I had been spending time together...
well, since we were babies.
Our mothers were friends and involved 
in the same activites in our small community.

I don't have many photos of our whole group...
but this is one special occasion when we went out to eat.

This was the last time we were together.
December 1989.
We girls had a mini reunion with our families.
This is Jan with her hubby and two of their three daughters.

Here is our family on that same day.

While we had sent Christmas Cards back and forth,
we had not seen each other for over 27 years.

We shopped along the 16th Street Mall,
and I especially loved the little shops in Littleton,
closer to her home.

( I purchased this bracelet in a little boutique in Jan's hometown,
a souvenir of our special time spent together)

But the truth is,
we did more talking than shopping!

While we were shopping,
Jan's hubby came home from work and prepared
a light dinner for us.

We sat out on their patio.
It was so fun to get reacquainted.

Thank you, Jan.
It was the most wonderful day!

Take care,
~Natalie
