Road trip to N.C.

My long-time friend Barbara and I recently traveled to Gastonia, N.C. to visit her sister, Marjorie, who is also my long-time friend. "Long-time" translates to eons. We have known each other since high school and we are all in our fabulous 50's now. So, we've got memories together that go back almost 40 years. Heck, our memories are antiques!
Barbara and I live about 200 miles apart, and Marjorie lives about a million miles from us (at least it seems like it).
Marjorie's husband Loring was there, so he had to put up with us for three days. We talked about everything, discussed how to decorate some rooms, ate some wonderful food, shopped, ate some wonderful food again and laughed a lot. I was reminded how precious old friends are. We share history. We understand what the other means when we roll our eyes at the mention of someone from the past; we know who the bona fide idiots are--a couple of them are ex-husbands. ha! We can share notes from 40 years of life. A lot happens in 40 years.:)
We girls drank a little wine, a little this, a little that and worked out a few life issues over three days before saying good-bye. We both wish Marjorie wasn't so far away. Barbara and I had a long drive home, but it didn't seem long at all because we talked all the way. We understand each other ...our lives, our children, our husbands, our families.
Thanks, Barbara & Marjorie--it was fun! See you again real soon.
