Ruby Tuesday

It seems like a lifetime ago since I lunched and lolled away some time with my brother and sister at this little neighborhood cafe in San Francisco. Hard to think that it was three years ago, less a month, and just three months before mom would pass on. And yet, the memory is as sharp as though it was yesterday. It was the first time as adults that we three actually were together; just us. No spouses. No children. No parents. No others at all. Just the three of us. I love remembering this day.

What a treasured memory. Often days like that are rare for adult children, but so special.

Hi, Annie! What a nice entry. I like the way you have Tuesday named as Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday..a great song by the Rolling Stones..love the tune you have too. Here are the lyrics.. http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/rolling+stones/ruby+tuesday_20117876.html

You picked a stylish locale in that red trimmed pub. Yet the truest ruby is the wonderful time you three shared. And you three kids look stunning!

Dear Annie,
Thanks for sharing valuable memories.
When writing of things of importance, you're also enlarging my world.
It seems that meeting in San Fransisco was both sad and good at the same time.
Bonding as adults sure is doing something both to feelings and to old hierarchic roles.
The good smiles on your faces tell things went well.
