Happiness is a leisurely breakfast with a friend.
When I think about my friends through the years, memories often involve a lot of listening, talking and, of course, food. So what better way to start this Sunday then having breakfast with an old friend. Not only was the food great- Honeyfield's in Lockport has the best quiche- but so was the company. There is always something to talk about when you are with someone you have known for a lifetime.
First, we caught up on our personal current events- recent movies (Lincoln was the favorite), what's happening on the job fronts, what's news with the families (happy birthday, Lauren!). Then we branched out into events that fill the pages of newspapers- homelessness, mental healthcare, retirement (we always have been political). As breakfast winds down, talk turns to things we would like to try or do before we can't. Places we might want to live when we someday (we hope) retire.
After breakfast, we spent the rest of the morning chatting away at my friend's abode. Here I had the honor of making a new friend. Roxy is the sweetest thing since milk chocolate. Her story has not always been a happy one and some of her history isn't even known, but thanks to my friend Jackie and the folks at Corgi Rescue, the happily ever after is a certainty.
I'm looking forward to more opportunities for hang time with these girls. What a great way to end the weekend! So, as the song goes, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold." True dat!
