Don’t you just love old friends? You know the
ones you have had since primary school or high school. The ones you may not see
for six months or more but are immediately back to where you left off as soon as you are together.
I had my friend from high school, Mandy,
stay for the weekend. We have been 'besties' since we were 12. We haven’t seen
each other for such a long time due to the complete craziness of life, but that
just doesn’t matter.
We had such a fun weekend. We walked to the
Byron Bay lighthouse. We walked my cute cavoodle down our pretty country lane to
the view of Lennox Head. We walked to Newrybar, our local village (6km round
trip) to have coffee and croissants. Yes, we love a good walk. We also love to
run, but Mandy hurt her knee, so walking it was this weekend.
One of the wonderful things about Mandy is
she can cook. Really cook. Nearly every time she comes Mandy will cook dinner. This
time it was prawn risotto. OMG, it was so good. My contribution was lighting a
fire and pouring the wine.
Do you have friends like that? The ones you
don’t see for an age but as soon as you are together, it is as if no time at
all has passed.
Jen, it sounds as if you had a splendid weekend! I love those friends that you fit back into the groove with immediately, as if no time at all has passed -- it's one of the best feelings in the world. :-D
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, Michelle. It really was a lovely weekend.
DeleteI an besties with Teri . We met in 1963 when her family moved 2 doors down from us in Wisconsin.Now we both live in Florida, abut 2 hours apar, but it's as if nothing ever changes between us.
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely, Laurie. Best friends are the best.
DeleteA friend who will light the fire and pour the wine is a friend, indeed, Jen :-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Amy! Love those sort of friends!!
DeleteSee, this is what true friendship looks like! All that walking, all that cooking - it's a great time to catch up, isn't it?! I connected with some high school gal pals this weekend, too, and I can totally relate to the 'taking up where you left off' - which is always a crack up. Sounds like you've had an idyllic weekend, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteIt really was idyllic, Shannon. Idyllic and fun!
DeleteHi Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI do have friends like this and it is way over time for me to catch up with them a weekend spent together would be fabulous and I know that we we all just feel like we were back in school together :)

Helen
