January 24, 2012, Playa Royale, Mexico. Don and Doreen.

They arrived today to visit us in Mexico.   It is an unusual event,   because most folks are fearful of coming to Mexico due to the violence.    Truth be told, most of the violence is associated with the drug business so in our part of Mexico, we feel safe.  We are delighted they are here  as they are friends of long standing.

Since they arrived this afternoon we have been talking non stop catching up on children and siblings and cousins and aunts, to say nothing of all our mutual friends.   We walked to the pool and beach so they could get the lay of the land, talking all the way.  And we ate pasta for dinner, made by me, sitting at our dining table.  It is always a pleasure being with old friends.

We were young together.  We started dating about the same time.   After Sunday night meeting we often ordered chinese food to Doreen's parents home for the four of us.  We married the same year.   And we have always been friends.  We are fortunate indeed.
