Old Friends

They say that spending time with old friends is therapeutic. My friend Mike, who I met in seventh grade, came over Saturday with his daughter, Ellie, who is a couple of years younger than Sarah. The girls played well together, which gave the adults plenty of time to visit. We're hoping to round up some of the old high school gang sometime in the next month or so, which will be fun if we can pull it off.



This made two weekends in a row of visiting with old friends inasmuch as we spent last weekend with our friends Ken and Renee over on the Carolina side of the mountains. I've known Ken since freshman year in college, so we've known each other for most of our lives, too.



When you are busy raising kids, it makes it difficult to see your friends as much as you'd like to. The past two weekends have been good for me.
