FRIENDS

Up at 5 this morning
I slept hard and had dreams all night. I’ll have to look up their meanings.
I feel good.
Alert

I indulged for mothers day and had a few drinks on the deck with Big Daddy.
We enjoyed the weather, chatted and watched the garden grow.

We watched a couple of mocking birds gathering items for a nest. Bits of dried grass, string, she seemed very picky about what she wanted. She is building a home, I’m sure she will be a momma soon.

The herb garden is on the table. I kept rubbing each of the leaves at random. Trying to guess what it was by smell.
Did you know sage smells like Thanksgiving dressing?

A dear friend called and we all chatted on speakerphone. He had his bourbon, Troy sipping crown and me with a screwdriver.
We talked about friendship, high school, cars and even retirement.
We laughed, we enjoyed each others company even if he was hundreds of miles away, he seemed to be right there, by the garden.

I could picture him kicked back on his patio with a glass in his hand. Breathing in the spring air, same as us. That face I haven’t got to see in person for years, and that attitude. He and Troy are so much alike and it warms my soul how well they get along.
It is special when you can share a friend from the past with your life partner

Our lives are so different from when we first met as kids, and yet so much the same.
We’ve grown up, apart and together.
Real friends are forever.

3 hours later we said our good nights. A perfect end to Mothers Day.
Getting together with friends is always a treat. Even from 2 different time zones.
I love technology.

I love my life.
Love Big
Lorene
