Well color me happy as I spent a heavenly week ‘Up North’ Minnesota with three resilient, funny, brave, strong, bold and beautiful, women! After a stop for lunch in Two Harbors at Betty’s Pies, we drove north to Ely and the historic Burntside Lodge to reconnect and simply enjoy some highly anticipated giddy girl time together, which of course included a pajama party.
The Girls – Debbie, Kim, Nina & Pixi
With our high school saga (yearbook) as a compass, we were transported a half century back in time as we shared stories of our collective 170 years of friendship. Over bottles of wine, great food and laughter, sweet memories were shared – and being made – with glasses raised high. We talked of the loves and the losses; the children and grandchildren who now illuminate our lives. All these are beautiful markers of time and a journey well traveled.
Throughout life friendships are made, lost, celebrated and mourned. These ladies, however, are another amazing level of incredibleness and I am happy and so very fortunate to have them in my life. Cheers to the girlfriends in our lives!
ps – we tried but couldn’t get Nina to recreate her high school jumps!
