I have a bestest friend who I met when I was 22yrs old and I am now 52 and I just spent Friday with this friend.....we go on painting picnics together, exploring various places between her place and mine. We live an hour apart so explore the coast and scenery between on a regular basis. She is a year younger than me and we have been friends 30 years! Despite us both moving around and even living together during the early years we have always remained in touch.

And yes, there have been so many of those breaking into "gut-busting" laughter for us too!!
