Thursday Club

I met my Thursday club friends for dinner this week at Olive Garden to celebrate Judy's birthday. She has a Christmas eve birthday so we tend to wait until after the holidays to celebrate and catch up from the last month! Sometimes it's amazing we can find an evening that works for 6 different people together! And nope we didn't meet Thursday, it was Wednesday which seems to mess all of our spouses up!(thursday club on wed.?) But when you've met these friends for years (30+) on Thursday, it just has stuck! In fact we had such a good laugh as Judy's girls all have decided they are going to start a Thursday club! We all laughed and wondered if they'd have a "can"? As young mom's we all struggled with Christmas money so we had a "can" that we all put $5 a week into as our "dues" and over the year that would help pay for Christmas. We'd get our money back at our Christmas party and have it for shopping. Sometimes people had to borrow out of the can in dire emergencies but it's fun to know we could do that. ( a bit of history, HA!) So Mindy has the next birthday (and she'll finally be as old as me) so we'll see everyone in April again and have fun catching up on our lives, or we might make up an occasion before then to meet for dinner and enjoy each other again.
