I will be “going a Maying” poolside today, gathering rag magazines, suntan lotion and wine coolers amongst a posse of my oldest and dearest friends. For the weekend, three of us drove the seven-hour trek from Southern California (an insane road trip I will not repeat unless we stay longer) to meet Suzette from Texas. Here we are in Scottsdale, Arizona basking in laughter and funny stories, far, far away from any to-do list. There is no place else I would rather “bring in the May” than with my comrades of twenty-seven years…going to movies, eating out, swimming, catching up and toasting life.
To sum up my May Day I will refer to Ralph Waldo Emerson who was spot-on when he said, “It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.”

It sounds like such a great time! Have a blast!
I hope you had a great time! I love Arizona, I haven't about 9 years. That is wonderful that you are able to get together with old friends who all live so far apart.
