Have heard of the May flower pole, never the basket tradition, I must say what a lovely tradition for teenagers.
Our worlds collide and we share special times together, how sad you lost contact, unfortunately this happens with so many childhood friends.
Thanks so much Joan! It is sad to lost contact with friends from the past but it happens so often when in different parts of the country.
Losing contact over the years, we all go separate ways. Every so often someone makes contact, you soon realize much has changed and sit with little or nothing to say, except memories of childhood.
I have a couple friends from childhood that I keep in contact with via phone mostly and our conversation always returns to the past and the people from that time.
