This past week we reconnected with two different sets of friends that don't live near us. Our friends Rick and Traci and their kids came to our cottage. I haven't seen Traci in about a year, and so missed her company. She's the kind of friend I don't see often, but instantly feel comfortable with. We enjoyed laketime, food, campfire, and even snuck out to Starbucks.
I had to add this picture because it's the only one I took. Who gets out their camera and then only takes this picture? Me I guess! I don't even know why I took this one, doesn't show much! Oh well, I guess it just means we'll have to get together again soon.
Later in the week my old teaching partner Dana and her family came for a visit from Connecticut. Oh how I miss her. As soon as she walked in it felt like she's never been gone. It was a wierd day for me with lots going on, but seeing them was like nothing else mattered. So easy, low maintenance(think Chinese take-out!), and great fun.
My kids were so excited all day to see them! Our kids are not anywhere near in age either, except Sof! It's funny to think a couple years ago we went to Disney with them when their little boy Brady was just a year old.
Sof was not even a picture in our wallet then. This fall Sof and Brady will both turn 3 within a few weeks of each other! The even crazier thing is that Sof looks like their little girl Ava! Never in a million years did I think Dana and I would have kids the same age. What a difference a year makes:)
Holy cow!! Brady and Ava look so big!! I wouldn't have recognized Brady if I didn't know you were getting together!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to have some quality time with your old friends. Connecting with old friends somehow makes us stop and take a breath in the crazlife we live.
