When Gill visited us in Mexico, we discussed the question of why the group of us in Nova Scotia have stayed friends. We have been friends for over forty years. Each individual friend is different. We are all over the political spectrum, but we have stayed friends. Over the years, there would have been thirty ladies and their children attending picnic group, yet the four of us only have stayed friends. It is not an easy answer although part of it is simple. We are all independent people and we all do interesting things. But lots of other folks crossed our paths and did not end being life long friends.
Tonight, Joyce and Robbie came for dinner. The live at a ranch just down the road. They have been good friends from the moment we bought our place. They are lively and energetic although they are both just a bit older than us. One of the things we like about them is that they are Texans through and through. In many ways, their life style is different to ours but we have interests in common with travel and the ranch. This is the first time we have seen them since the end of November and it is always exciting to see them and catch up with their life. Good friends bring great joy to our lives and the older we get the more we understand it. We are fortunate with our friends and our families..
