What a Rockin' Weekend!
2 sets of old friends emailed us last week to say "Hey, we're coming your way next weekend, can we get together?"
And how. Saturday we saw Randy and Martha and their two sons. Up until, oh, 9 or so years ago we sat down to dinner with them on a regular basis. Then they moved to the Puget Sound region and, well, we just didn't keep up. So we all sat down and had dinner at our new house, and we all stepped back right into where we'd been as friends. Oh things have changed of course. Now each family has 2 kidlings, and we had lots of catching up to do, but it felt all comfortable and right. Yep, still same people, still same friendship. As a bonus Randy is doing very similar work to mine (and got there by nearly as roundabout a route). Swapping stories and hints was very rewarding.
Sunday we saw Ariel and Jerry and their daughter and their bun-in-the-oven. They lived around here too and moved away about the same time as R&M. We've managed to see A&J a few more times since then, and now they live only 90 minutes away. But it's still a delight to see them whenever we can.
(Jerry's a techie too. Humm. I wonder how many other old-friends-who-are-now-techies might show up?)
We're all doing well, and our kids are well-adjusted and happy and learning and growing, and it's just great to have seen them all again. Not riveting blog material I suppose, but it's the best things in life and that's where my life is.
Jamie's asleep on the couch now – a big weekend of visiting for her. I'd better haul her upstairs and get the boy out of the tub and headed toward bed.
