Picked Up...

 .....right where we left off.

I love watching the seasons change  

It was a warm summer day....but treasures like this remind me to pay attention to Mother Nature's transitional handiwork.

When Paul and I were raising our young boys we had dear friends with boys exactly the same age.  Since neither of us lived near family.....we became that for each other.  Starting at a very young age the boys had Friday night sleepovers...one week at our house...the next at the other.  It was an incredible gift.   

I took a long walk around Portland with Deb this morning and we picked up right where we left off.  We laughed and cried as we reminisced about our shared past....and we celebrated the comfortable and peaceful place we both have landed.
