Past Bumps Into Present

Just a coupla guys.


A dreary morning. We had rain yesterday and some this morning. No mowing in today's future. Life has been trotting along, which means time is flying by. Speaking of time flying, or flown by, my long ago friend I messaged awhile ago contacted me by messenger last evening. She was happy to hear from me and wants me to call her. So I will. I guess taking the chance was the right thing to do. It's been since about 1983. I guess that qualifies as a long time.

  1. I think 1983 was just the other day sometimes. It can't be that long ago. Hope you have a lovely day.

  2. I had that from a childhood friend and we met up after 40+ years of not talking since grade school. It was like we never left off.
    Of course we both grew up and had families, but we still enjoy talking or texting to each other. Have a great day!

    1. It was the same, like we just picked up where we left off. I said we need to FaceTime once a week and try to visit occasionally. She agreed.

  3. Putting forth a lil effort in maintaining friendships is worth the effort. I see some many people isolating thier selves these days, not making an effort to stay connected. It gives me concern . I am encouraged by your blog which i have made one of my "reads"

    Thanks for posting ... take care, Thompson

    1. Thank you for being here, Thomson. I am trying to become involved with people again. I'm ok in my own company but we are social creatures to one degree or another.

  6. I had an in person meeting with an old Brit friend who visited the US after 35 years apart. She kept saying you're just the same!! You haven't changed!! I wondered if she was hoping I'd improved..
