Old friends in an OLD town

A family from Idaho, that we have know for sooooooooooooooooooo many years, was in AZ for a graduation. Of course we couldn't let them come down here without making a plan for a visit with them!

We met them in the {former} ghost town of Jerome, AZ. {Just in case you didn't know - which I didn't, until we drove there - it is about 23 miles south of Prescott} After FINALLY finding a place to park, we found a little restaurant and had some lunch and LOTS of talk.

The amazing thing is that we just picked up like it HASN'T been 25 years since we've all spent time together! They were always like our substitute family, since all of my parents' siblings live either in Utah or Arizona, when we were growing up. We spent MANY a New Year's day together, playing "Spoons", eating yummy food, and having a White Elephant gift exchange.

And then there is the 4H program that Barbara got me started in - and I LOVEd it! And her daughters were all like sisters to me - and it was great to have them!

I l♥ve you guys - let's get together sooner than later, again, huh??
