Old Friends - Again

Last month I was talking about looking up old friends that I hadn't talked to in a couple of years. I had heard back from Lisa, but not Beth. I have been worried about her. The last time I spoke to her, about 2 years ago, she was going through a rough time.

Well, I finally heard back from her. Actually, she replied back 2 weeks ago, but the stupid junk filter at work ate her message. Today, just for the heck of it, I thought I would look through it. Normally it just has ED adds for Cialis or Viagra and "Make your Girlfriend so happy with bigger...." adds. I get so tired of those. Anyway, as I'm scrolling through the adds, I came across her email.

I was so glad to hear from her. While somethings have gotten better, others are still rocky. One of the things she was telling me about is that her boyfriend is about 10 years younger than she is. She sound a little worried about it. I told her "who cares what his age is if he treats her and her kids right and that they care for each other." Enjoy the relationship you have.

Problems aside, I was really glad to hear from her. I got her phone number and will be calling her this weekend.

Beth if you read this, I have missed you and the kids.

Old Friends

I was in the mood to look up old friends yesterday. But not 'old' as in age {:o) , lest they read this and think I poking fun at anyones age. (Seeing as they are both older than I) No, I was referring to the fact that I had lost track of them. For whatever reason, we just hadn't spoken or contacted each in several years.

I had received a Christmas Card from LisaMarie, this last year and decided what the hell, I'm going to send her an email and see what happens. Well, she emailed back and we ended up talking for about an hour last night. LisaMarie, used to belong to my quilt group in Hartford, MI , but she moved to South Dakota and then in later years on to Florida. It was great talking to her. And it would be even greater to be able to visit one of these days. I think about it longingly, especially as I look out the window here in the Midwest were the high temperature for the day is supposed to be 16 degrees with winds gusting between 15 & 20 miles per hour. Can you say Brrrrrrr?

I have also sent an email off to my friend Beth. I hope I get to hear from her also.
