Annual gathering with our "Soccer" friends

We have been getting together for over 20 years.....every year - usually at Christmas-time....we gather and relax....we had a brunch at 16 Thomas Drive this year.....it was almost 60 degrees outside....nobody is complaining though...we'll get our share of cold and snow soon enough. We had a great visit and got to show off photographs of all of our grandchildren and get caught up on all the happenings.


Kathy posed with her former "coaches" and her son Lance.....

I nagged the ladies to wear the aprons that Barbara made for us a few years ago...I wear mine all the time...Barbara had Soccer Balls embroidered on them and the phrase "Forever Friends" painted on. That's what we are -- forever friends... Merry Christmas to all... Posted by Picasa
