Today was the day that two of my high school girlfriends and I had penciled in a lunch date so I took today off as a "Me Day!" We met at a nice restaurant in St. Francisville, LA called The Francis. It's a quite large restaurant for a small town like St. Francisville, but they always have a nice draw of customers. It was the first time for all 3 of us to go there. This place has a tall ceiling with two dining areas divided by a wall, an upstairs dining area and a courtyard outside of outdoor dining. We all enjoyed our food and our time together remembering old times and catching up on each other's lives. I had crab au gratin, loaded potato and lima beans. One friend had fried eggplant and lima beans and the other friend had a loaded hamburger with jalapeno peppers. Photo Credit: Picabay, Public Domain

Yes, and it is hard for us to find a day we can all make it on! That is the biggest problem.

I'm afraid the only high school friend I used to see has passed away. I have little or no connection to anyone else from High School.

Our graduating class only had 52 members and a good many of us have kept in touch. I'm sorry to hear about your friend from HS.

there's always time to make a me day with or without friends, I will have a lot of ME days once I get back in the cabin which is getting closer.
