Revisiting My Past!

Today me, Julie and Ivy all looked through old pictures of me and Ivy back when we first met in kindergarten. We all talked about how we had all met our best friends back then. Mine was Ivy, of course! We were in the same kindergarten class back in the fall of 1962. I remember that year so well, it was the year our dog Skittles was born. I had bangs and wore my hair in pigtails almost every day. Every time I played on the local park playground, I always went on the circle that spins you around. Then, there was meeting Ivy. Our teacher had assigned us buddies on the first day and Ivy happened to be mine. She was shy at first, but then at recess we bonded over our love of the spinny thing on the playground. After that, we were fast friends.

Julie's was a girl named Anna Ventamiglia. She lived in the same apartment building as Julie and they met when they were about 3. She had jet-black hair that always poofed out at the ends and bright green eyes. They were also in the same kindergarten class. They stayed friends up until the end of fifth grade, just before Julie moved to Hillrise. She said Anna had accused her of stealing her favorite dress, even though she knew her mom threw it away because it had a tear in it. Sadly, they never made up. Julie doesn't seem to care, though. She has me and Ivy and she says we're much better than Anna ever was. (Apparently she had an attitude problem.) But now she has us, and I am so happy!! It was so weird seeing all of these old pictures and drawings, but isn't it nice to revisit your past sometime? You should revisit yours sometime!
