Finally

Finally, one of those cool reunion things happened to me. I am going to meet an old highschool friend on Friday. We are going to walk dogs at a local park. She lives not too far from me.

It's one of those scarey/fun things that are a part of modern life. She has sisters and has lived here all her life, so she's more accustomed to seeing people age than I am. It's still a shocking thing for me-hell, I can't get used to ME getting older, let alone anyone else.

But, I'm excited. We've already enjoyed comparing and contrasting lives, and we've done it in just that way, neither trying to one up the other one. Just like old times. We always enjoyed each others differences and people thought we made strange friends. I'm really looking forward to Friday.

I'm taking Molly and Moon with me. She recently lost her dog so I offered to bring an extra so she'd have one to walk. The world is a strange and magical place, and often gives us exactly what we need in ways we never expect.

Funny, I was just telling KJ that people come into our lives exactly when we need them ;)
How sweet of you to bring a dog for her to walk. I hope the sun is shining!

Hey, next time you have to paint over red use a couple of coats of primer. Red is a bugger to cover!
I'll bet the wall was pretty though.

blogger won't let me comment.

Yes, primer good, red is good, but requires diligence to remove.

Mim, blogger did let you comment.

I doubt the sun will be shining, apparently a small blizzard is due and I don't do cold/wet/slick. But, it warms me to know she's here and thought of me. SHE found me (although I had been looking for her).

I'm pretty proactive, but sometimes you want to be the one someone else looks for.

my one and only best friend from school (who i have known for 55 years.....longer than you've been alive)....sometimes comes to london and when i see her we always roll on the floor laughing at old stories and at how old we both are now...we count the 'pleats' on our faces. you are gonna have such fun and taking an extra dog just proves what a sweetheart you are> have FUN.
