As adults age, they may be unable to manage their affairs like they used to. Cognition may be getting fuzzy, or family members could be exerting undue influence.

One of life's greatest blessings is having great friends. I am grateful to have a group of friends that have not only kept in touch since high school, but our families get together every year. All the ladies are graduates of El Camino High School. We call ourselves "Forever Friends" and this month we got our families together in Tahoe for our annual trip.
We'd love to see pictures from your latest friend get together!
