Then the next day the lady in blue above, Janice, who also has had severe medical issues all winter, had her 60th birthday. We congregated at another Crone's house. We call ourselves the Crones in the most respectful way. We are women who are willing to share wisdom and kindness and give of ourselves to others.
The next day we gathered with other friends for a co-mingling time with Janice and her family for a gourmet spread. Her husband made a wonderful chocolate cheese cake and put the candles in it .
It was a delightful evening. But do you notice that at 70, we leave earlier than we did at 50 and 60.......
We left the teenager children and even the house hosts and were the first to say goodnight. They don't even do anything exciting that I am afraid to miss later. I used to stay up all night at parties so I wouldn't miss anything. There is nothing to miss anymore. SAD SAD SAD
I guess we may have done it all.
Oh, those days of pulling an all-nighter at a party are long gone for me, too! I can remember stopping for the Sunday newspaper on my way home from fun with friends on Saturday night. Never again!
ReplyDeleteIt is so great that you have this special group of girlfriends to gather with a few times a year! Friendships are such a blessing!
It looks like a great group of friends. The term is an honorific as far as I am concerned. Crone is the most honoured part of another Trinity. The Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone. Your early departures remind me of my sister's last visits. We used to keep going till the wee hours, saying: the night is still young! Later that became: The night is still young.....but we're not.
