Monday Memories: On Basin-A Confession

Since I don't have a lot of time or access to pictures I thought I would just tell a short memory today. At least I'm sharing one this week right? This memory takes place some time during our sojourn on Basin when I was in the first grade, but I'm not sure exactly when. I remember a lot of my friends getting invited to a birthday party that a girl form our school was having. My two best friends, Paula and Kris, were both invited, several classmates, but for some reason not me. I was, of course, pretty sad about this. I don't remember who this girl was that had the party or I would use her name...let's just call her Sally. Who knows maybe she was the other girl in that photo I used when I talked about Paula and Kris and our adventures. I knew where Sally lived...just down the road from me across the street from Paula and Kris. I knew, from asking friends, what time the party started. So, on said party date, about 30 min after said party time, I started walking down the street in search of a friend to play with. To my surprise (wink wink) no one was home. So, I decided to see if Sally could play. I wonder what her mother was thinking when she opened the door and I asked if Sally could play. Laughter? Disdain? Who knows. All I know is my plan was working and I was able to enjoy some of Sally's birthday festivities--without having to bring a gift. I can't remember if I took home a party bag. I can't remember if anyone was mad at me for crashing the party---I was under the guise that I didn't know there was a party going on at the time. I was simply bored and wanted to play. I can't remember if I ever played with Sally again. But, I do remember not feeling the least bit disturbed by being a party crasher. I was just pleased with being able to be at the party with my friends...I should have been invited in the first place!
