Celebrating Female Friendships

Have you heard of Galentine's Day? The name comes from a 2010 episode of the TV series Parks and Recreation, where the character Leslie (played by Amy Poehler) throws a "Galentine's Day" party for her female friends the day before Valentine's Day. 

Since then more and more women have embraced the concept. I'd like to think that this group of long-time friends has too:

A group of 30 year old girlfriends discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the waiters there had tight pants and nice buns. 

20 years later at 50 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the food there was very good and the wine selection was good also. 

10 years later at 60 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they could eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean. 

10 years later, at 70 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because the restaurant was wheel chair accessible and they even had an elevator. 

10 years later, at 80 years of age, the group once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed that they should meet at the Ocean View restaurant because they had never been there before.

  4. Loved it and shared it with my Facebook friends. We all got a chuckle out of it because it's pretty much right-on except the 70s. We aren't in wheelchairs yet. That may be us, though, in our 80s.
