Robin's Summer Stock Sunday meme invites all to post summery photos, and to visit other bloggers who share their feelings and memories about this magical season.
Traditionally, summer has been the perfect time to hit the road and make a pilgrimage to visit faraway family and friends.
I have been the happy recipient on many occasions of summer visits from my friend of 23 years, Lisa. We met as co-workers in the late 80s and have been soul sisters ever since.
One of the earlier summer visits was this one, when she brought her little guy to see me and Brad when we lived in Toronto. Lisa and her husband had moved to Belleville at that time, and this was a two-hour trip into the city for a new mom, bringing a welcome interlude of reconnecting to herself as Lisa, while I had the fun of laughing with her son.
Her latest trip to see me was a few years ago. This time she traveled from Cobourg, Ontario to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
On Monday, Lisa will celebrate her birthday. I wish she was here for a hug In Real Life. Maybe next year!
My visits to Lisa seem to roll around in the fall and winter. Until then, my dearest friend...
Happy Birthday to your friend Lisa and I hope you get to meet up again soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are few things more precious than a visit from a dear friend. Happy birthday to Lisa. I wish you were together for it too.
