On Weds. I had arranged to meet with my sister-in-law and a friend for dinner. Another friend was unable to make it. We have been trying to get together for quite a while. We started out years ago getting together once a month. It was a bit easier because I wasn't working and the others had set hours and days. Eventually it came to meeting every couple months, then every 3 and now down to once or twice a year. It's a great time for all of us and we hate to miss out but life gets busy and the unexpected sometimes happens.
I was early waiting at the restaurant we were meeting at when my sister-in-law showed up. We had said 5:30 or 6 and it was a little after 5:30 at this point. No problem. Until 6 came along and our other friend hadn't shown up. We finally texted her a little after 6 to see if she was coming. Her response. . . . ."I forgot". Senility strikes again! Through other replies from her we found out she got off work at 5 and thought there was something she was forgetting. When she couldn't figure it out she went to the store, went home, changed clothes and started fixing dinner. Then she got our text. Needless to say she was not going to make it and we proceeded with having dinner. We had a great time and was able to catch up but we still missed our friends. Hopefully next time. I love getting together with these gals and don't get to see them enough.
