40!!!

Tomorrow my best friend turns 40, but we celebrated over the weekend. I'm having a little trouble with this age because I had very young parents and I remember coming home from college for my mother's 40th birthday party. I still have a couple of years myself, but the "40 parade" is beginning. There was no way I was going to miss this gathering...absolutely not. The neat thing is that I remember 22 years ago, also on March 31, that many of my friends gathered together for a surprise 18th birthday party for this same friend. This friend is so very dear to me and it means so much to me that we've had so many wonderful years as friends, and that we've shared so much together!
