Weekend Away 

It was so beautiful I wanted to cry.

It was very hard to leave this space. 
THAT is the mark of a special person.

I felt the same way about you during the brief time we spent together in the Spring.

How nice to get away for a while. Better yet, to spend time with a kindred spirit.

I'm interested to learn that you naturally gravitate to serene people.

When I think about it, all my close friends [oops, that's only really a very small number] are loud and brash just like me. There again, loud and brash is relative I suppose.
Best wishes, hope you get to see your pal again soon.

Lori, that's about the nicest thing you could ever say to me. Thanks for the smile.

Hi, Maddy! How nice to see you here. Oh, I gravitate toward loud and brash too--to bring out the inner gregarious in me (my friend called herself a 'gregarious introvert'--I think I'd call myself the same).

I think what's most remarkable to me is that she and I could have a 12+ year separation and be together seamlessly.

And yes, I'm going to lobby my friend to let me have more visits.
