We had a nice day yesterday, and old friends came for dinner. I love the history we have with each other. I think of the birth of their daughter, another daughter's chatter when we walked back from kindergarden together, canoeing on the lake, Thanksgivings and Christmases spent together. These are people who have got our back, and have been there for us when we needed support. And we live within walking distance of each other. I have several really close friends who are right in my neighborhood. On Friday another friend, who has moved farther away, and I walked towards campus, and browsed the Anthropology gift shop and the art museum. We saw a baby show that we found interesting, and discovered that the bookstore was having a big sale, so we came out with about 5 or 6 books each. It was fun, and we ate a late lunch with my husband joining us, and the leisurelyness of it was so delightful.
Today we take a walk with our younger daughter, and then I plan to sew the yarn hair on a doll I found for my granddaughter, and we will probably resume World War II. We just finished the battle of Saipan. The reality of my life and the horror of war juxtaposed in the strange way that video allows nowadays.
