"It takes a long time...

...to grow an old friend."

-- John Leonard



"Old Friends"
Philadelphia, PA


I'm pretty sure I laughed more this past Thanksgiving long weekend than I have any previous one.  Why?  Spending time with friends and family, eating, screaming at the television during football games, eating, joking around, eating, playing games, eating, laughing til it hurt, eating.  Interesting factoid that came to light in the process...did  you know that most kids don't know the game PASSWORD???!!!???  I remember the game BUT, I don't remember it being as funny as it was this past weekend. Why?  I'm just gonna chalk it up to good friends, family and.....eating.

I am grateful for old friends and family.  I loved watching these "young" gentlemen spending an afternoon "kvetching" in the park.  The guy in the middle actually fell asleep about 30 minutes into their summit.  I guess they solved all the worlds' problems and it was time for some shut-eye.  Let's just say...I can relate.

    Oh Kathy, that is one really great capture of some pretty cool guys. Just think, someday, (hopefully), someone just might want to take a picture of us in all our glory! And we'll be famous, ha!

    Love your words as usual!
