Old favorites

One of my friends celebrated her birthday two days ago. After texting her "Happy Birthday!" she texted me back, saying that she wanted to take me to lunch today. We have been friends for 21 years now, amazingly enough. We used to go to a Mexican restaurant in Ripon that has since changed names, but not owners. So, today that is where we met up for lunch. It was great being in familiar surroundings with a friend that I can talk to and laugh with. Another plus is that it was Mexican food! Good friend + good company + good food = great time. I'm grateful I could spend time with a few of my old favorites!
