A lovely visit with my friend, Bear

My friend, Bear

I had an fantastic visit with my friend, Sherilyn, today! She was in town unexpectedly, and had some free time this afternoon for a visit! Yay!

We had a lovely lunch at the Cliff House - home of the best Bloody Marys, and sinfully delish popovers!! Yum!!

Sheri and I met way back in the 6th grade at our mutual friend's slumber party. :) We attended the same junior high and high school after that, although, sadly, she moved to Southern CA after our Sophomore year. We stayed in touch, and have remained great friends ever since!

We saw each other earlier this year, and before that, it had been a couple of years. I am woefully behind in paying her a visit in Southern CA. Soon!

Oh, why "Bear"? It's funny, the things you come up with when you're 12 years old that stick with you through adulthood. Our nicknames for each other were "Bear" for her (Sher-Bear) and "Tunie" for me. I had a sweatshirt with my name written across the front. The first time she saw it, she thought it said "Tunie" instead of "Trina". It stuck. :)

Great visiting with you, Bear! Looking forward to seeing you again in a couple of weeks!! xo
