Weekend Anniversaries - Part I

Lunch with the Girls—
a joyous occasion:
10 years since the start
of our purposed trail blazin’.

Hubby-Honey—you’re good?
Yes, milk has been pumped.
I’ve great faith in you
but call if you get stumped.

Drivin’ alone
(how rare!)
Am I insane?!
Better get out
of the HOV lane.

Pull into the Center
that boasts a Coach House
I’m greeted with charm—
Can you say southern-soused?

Up the lift,
‘round the bend,
oh, there they are!
With this grand reception
you’d think I’m a star!

Hi! Kiss, kiss, hug, hug,
Oh Girl, you look good!
Well, you’re wearing orange
like others wish they could.

And you—look at you,
I’m so lovin’ your ‘do,
You say that I’m glowing?
You’re radiant too!

Well, lookie here—Hey!
Oh Girl, glad you made it!
No, you’re just in time.
Wanna try the “Swan’s Favorite”?

Catch up, reflection,
’06 is a wrap.
What things for ’07
do you have on tap?

This song is so sweet,
but two missed from the tune:
one newly in Maryland, the other—
Camaroon…

You both are sent love.
Your spirit is with us.
Can all of us--friends and fam--
plan to do Christmas?

Just shy of closing
we go on to gab.
Why, these dear, dear friends
even pick up the tab!

Cheers to the staff,
Tip the valet,
Do you want this to end?
It’s such a nice day…

Starbucks is just a few miles away…!

Venti to Venti,
Tall to Short,
Ok to a brownie
but no to the torte.

What say you ‘bout
this “Law of Attraction”?
‘07—agreed,
It’s time for some action!

Ok… gotta go.
Time to head to the car,
Uh—
Would each of you pose
wearing this here tiara?

‘Cause you’re each a queen—
want to capture this moment
Your friendship to me
in a word’s been Heaven-sent.

To my WVG sisters
both here and far-flung,
you’ve all made The Thanks Ranks.
My day’s post is done.

Happy 10-Year Anniversary!
