Anticipating Their Arrival...

Good friends, Marc and Jill, and their two little ones are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. We're looking forward to our week with them.

What is it about old friends? Those people who knew you as you once were - pre-degree, pre-job, pre-house, pre-kids, pre-adult? There's something so precious to me about returning to those people, and remembering...

When I was younger, I always wondered why my parents and grandparents told the same stories of their lives over and over again. And now I know...it's not for the listener's benefit; it's for the teller's. And oh, the joy that telling brings me!
