An afternoon with long-time friends

in Silver Bloggers2 months ago

In my experience school friendships that last over time become family. Yesterday was a happy day! My friend M came to Venezuela after 8 years, she came with the intention to vote in the elections that we have at the end of the month and to visit her family and friends. So yesterday, my friend E and I went to look for M to go out for lunch together.

E picked me up and we went together. There were many hugs, joy, and also tears of emotion. I have never been one to have many friends, but those I call my friends are my friends at heart.

Of course, we joke a lot about how good we look for our age, lol.

It's always so nice to see that even though the years go by and our lives have taken different paths, every time we meet, it's as if time hasn't passed and we are still those young girls who used to go everywhere together.

We went to lunch and toasted to life.

We caught up, joked, and promised to do it again before M goes home in a couple of weeks.

We went to eat sushi at a place called Sushi & Ceviches where we like to go because of the good value for money. We ate sushi and ceviche and had a couple of beers, or maybe it was three LOL. And we laughed a lot.

After dropping M off at home, and on our way to mine, E's car suddenly overheated without any warning. And we ended up riding in a tow truck.

My friend was worried about the car but then burst into laughter and we made our way to her house chatting and laughing. And my hubby came to the rescue to pick me up at E's house, hehe.

So even that couldn't dampen the beautiful afternoon we spent together. And it will surely add to the hundreds of anecdotes we have shared and will be the subject of jokes in our next get-together LOL.

So yesterday I came home grateful to life for another day and for having been able to share a part of the day with my friends. 😄

Thank you for reading!

Así es querida, fue una tarde inolvidable.

😅 It will go down in history as the day of the tow truck, the laughs and the beers. What a good time we always have when we are surrounded by our loved ones!

Así es! Un día con final inesperado 😆😅

Hermosas chicas llenas de vida, ese día fue maravilloso lo puedo sentir al leer tu post, la comida se ve divina, qué rico pura provocación 😅🤣 y ni hablar de la refrescante cerveza, yo tengo años sin tomar una, diría que por falta de compañía, también soy de tener pocos amigos y deseo tanto que algunos que están afuera vengan a su país para reencontrarnos.

El final de su día no pudo ser mejor, sencillamente inolvidable, ese pensamiento de Oprah Winfrey es pura sabiduría. Gracias @coquicoin por compartir esta alegría con nosotros.


Beautiful girls full of life, that day was wonderful I can feel it reading your post, the food looks divine, how rich pure provocation 😅🤣 and not to mention the refreshing beer, I have years without drinking one, I would say that for lack of company, I am also of having few friends and I wish so much that some who are outside come to your country to meet again.

The end of your day could not have been better, simply unforgettable, that Oprah Winfrey thought is pure wisdom. Thank you @coquicoin for sharing this joy with us.

Gracias, Ana Maria 🥰
Fue una linda tarde con amigas de toda la vida.
Espero que pronto puedas disfrutar esa cervecita en buena compañía.
Un abrazo y feliz fin de semana 😘

It's always so nice to see that even though the years go by and our lives have taken different paths, every time we meet, it's as if time hasn't passed and we are still those young girls who used to go everywhere together.

Time traverse but our memory remains same and feels more valuable with time. Sometimes we wish, we could traverse back in time !!!

You are right! If only we could go back in time for a moment, that could be cool, right?

A beer for each of the bonnie lasses Super Eli 💙

Jeje cheers 🍻😉💙

You all look lovely and happy. Great and real friendships are for life. It's awesome you had fun together, catching up and feeding not only your tummies but also your souls ❤

!LUV

Gracias, sis 🥰
And you are right we did not only feed our tummies but our souls.
Have a lovely evening, amiga 😘

This was so hearty to read. I don't have a lot of friends. In truth, I presently don't have more than four people I can call my friends. But these are people that will ride with me till the end and their friendship is invaluable.

I sincerely hope I get to experience this. Living and laughing together when we get older. You look really lovely, @coquicoin.🌺

Thank you, dear Tessa 🥰 you are so kind 💕
I wish you from my heart that you grow older and keep some good friends. The kind of friends who will be for you in good times and bad times.
Have a lovely week 🌱🤗

Very entertaining and enjoyable article @coquicoin friend!... Cheers!... And I'm glad that you and your friend had that crane nearby!... :))

What a great friendship you have with them. I only wish I could get together with some of my old friends like that, but we live to far apart.

I hope someday you can meet your old friends once again. It's so rewarding :)

Preserving your school friends is a big present! They were witnesses of all our children and teenagers problems, grown up with us… I have a meet-up with mines every 3-4 months and I’m grateful for that. I hope you can celebrate with them for many years, dear. ❤️🤗

It is true that these friendships grew up with us and if we manage to preserve them, they are friendships that last over time. Throughout our lives, many people come and go, and having lifelong friends is so valuable.
Thank you querida. And may you share many more years with yours as well 🤗😘

You had a good time!!! 🤩🙌

That kind of friendship is what we all need and want, the long lasting one, where the closeness will stay no matter which path any of us had taken and those that never forget to look back. That was an amazing reunion between you and your friends 🤩🤩🤩✨

That's right, we all want to have at least one friend like that in life. I hope you have at least a few of those friendships when you get older and look back.
Have a great week 🤗

Long lasting friendships are indeed like family 😊 Glad you all got to spend time together..

Thank you! Have a great day:)

Always nice to spend time with friends even when the car is overheating 😀
Have a lovely weekend

Hehe, you are right, it's nice even when we end on a tow truck ride, LOL.
Happy weekend:)

Genuine friends last forever. You guys are like family already
!LADY

Yes, we are :)
🤗😘

How nice those reunions are. I have a friend like that, since we were kids, and when she comes to town we make up any number of things. Those are definitely quality moments. Glad you enjoyed it.

The crane trance may not have been pleasant, but sometimes you have to laugh even at those situations, because they are part of the moment.

Thank you! I'm glad you have childhood friends too. It's so fun when you meet those friends who have known you forever, right?
And yes the crane as dramatic as it could have been, ended up giving us big laughter, hehe.
Thanks for stopping by, saludos!

School friends are someone we long to meet. Most of us study in the same school for years finding more friends. And definitely it is a beautiful reunion when neeting after years.

Seeing friends after a long time but feels like it was only yesterday coz nothing has changed. That's what true friends are. ♥️

Indeed that's true friendship 💕

I hope me and my school friends are still in connection like you have ma'am. 😊😊

I hope you will :)
