Old Times and Old Friends

The past two days have been spent catching up with old friends, one of whom had flown in from Ozie Land.
The last time she was here in the Land below the Wind was more than two decades ago and the many changes, mostly positive, created a favorable impression on her.

Reminiscing the past and present whiled away the hours all too quickly. Have you ever noticed the ease with which old friends slip into the joyful camaraderie of old, the years dropping away and picking up where you left off a long time ago?

So it was with us, as we first chatted over toast and coffee and lataer strolled through the mall, browsing among the displays of colorful apparel. She made a couple of purchases with which she was very pleased.

The following day another old chum treated us to lunch and an update of her family with lovely family photographs. The hours simply flew by and it was time to say adieu with promises to catch up once more but in Down Under, where we have standing invitations.

Good friends are hard to come by and tested friendships should be treasured till the end of time.
