We went to a potluck dinner at the home of some old friends on the weekend. I happened to make a decent eye of round roast in the crockpot, so we took that along and it was a success. Their grown kids happened to be home and it was nice to see them. We met the older girl's boyfriend, a nice young man. They are recent university graduates and have started new jobs. I suspect it's just a matter of time before the wedding invitations come in, the circle of life you know.
I asked the young couple how they met, it turns out they went to elementary school together, from about grade 5 to 7. At the end of high school, a group of them who have always kept in touch decided to get together for a reunion. They have been dating since then!

Love that cartoon! Glad you enjoyed your get together, and that your roast turned out well. Valerie
Thanks for the mention, Christine! That is a fun cartoon.
Sounds like you had a really nice weekend. That sounds like such a romantic story for that young couple. Yes, the circle of life...
Sweet couple. I never knew my husband in intermediate and high schools despite our attending the same schools, because he is 3 years younger than I am. Same thing with the University of Hawaii. Besides, we moved in different crowds.
You never know who will end up with who. My fiancee was born in Minnesota and didn't come here until around middle school. Even then she was in school in the same county, we weren't in the same district. So we didn't meet until our early 20's.
Funny comic! So sweet that the couple knew each other from so far back. I'm glad you had a wonderful visit and meal.
Awe, what a sweet story! I love that . . . xoxo
We were seeing the kids of our friends in Illinois too and marveled at how beautifully they'd all grown, have careers and are raising their own families. Indeed. It is the circle of life.
That's cute!
