Had lunch with a great friend today. If she reads this, she'll think (and she'd be right!) I'm putting this on my blog site because she told me today that she has read some of my blogs. Today was a poignant lunch, our last lunch together as fellow Washingtonians. She and her husband are moving to the East Coast. I am so happy for them as I think about this new adventure. Moving just down the street from her best friend, she surprised me with remarks about a bit of a tug to the Northwest and her lovely home with a view of our beautiful Puget Sound. She has an open, adventurous heart and will, I predict, settle in quickly to her new surroundings, home and community. They will return every now and then to see old friends and enjoy our breathtaking, but unpredictable, summer weather. As I prepare to say Bon Voyage, I know I will miss knowing she's just "up the road a piece", but look forward with great anticipation to her newsy emails, especially pictures of her new granddaughter.
Thanks for the memories, dear friend. I wish you the best always.
