Sally

What a great way to spend the day! I got to visit and catch up with a dear friend who live out of state. Lucky for me, Dear Friend Sally, came to town (almost exactly) to visit her sister and mother and her families. She called me at the end of last week to see if I had time to see her.

Duh! I've got nothing but time for you, Sally!

In the photo we have, of course, Sally and me, plus our own herds of kids plus a couple nephews who came along for the ride. Thanks to Sally's sweet mom who took it for me so I could be in it--proving that I had a very good summer day today.

We spent an hour or so at a place called "Jump on It" that is basically a warehouse full of netted in trampolines, and the kids literally wore. themselves. out. Awesome!

While the kids bounced all the walls (and floors) Sally and I just got to visit and catch up on the last seven years or so since I had seen her. Sweating, stinky, dog-smelly kids had a great time. And so did the moms.

We grabbed some Subway sandwiches and hauled everyone to the local city center park and fed the crew and still chatted like there was no tomorrow. Lovely.

I love those friends who you can sit with and chat for ten minutes and it then feels like you have never been apart--seven years or seven minutes.

Thanks for a wonderful day, Sally! I love you, my friend!
