2008 was a blast, but how fast a long year comes and goes. December 2008 presented an opportunity for old friends to get re-acquainted. It all started with 4 girl-friends from Avalon Park getting together to celebrate the blessing of being on this earth for 50 years and making a promise stay connected from that day forth. Sharon Hicks, Charisse Cooper, Adrienne Long and Denise Crater got together on a Saturday night and rekindled an old friendship that never died. We talked about the good times we shared at Avalon back in the day (yes we remembered) and brought it on forward through marriages and kids and all types of stuff in between to 2009. There is nothing like good friends, good martinis (hic-cup) and good food. Love, Denise
