Before I am Famous

Today it an overcast day that is somewhat warm, probably the humidity, somewhat cool day. Tiny strips of fog float off the green mountains into the gray sky. I think back to a time when I was younger.

My longtime friend, Jessica, used to invite me to her parents home near Pottsville. I used to spend a whole week there. The family always made feel welcome. You know how if you spend too much time with some friends, you drive each other crazy and are looking forward to when you 2 part? Well that wasn’t the case with me and her.
We met in 5 th grade and had girl scouts together. Soon after we met I moved to a different school district, then a different state, and another state before I finally moved back to Pennsylvania. Anyhow enough back ground. We valued our time.

Well anyway the one time I was there it rained. And for some reason we were burning insence and making worry dolls. We used to do a lot of stuff like that. Or we would go for walks or swim or play cards. We always had a good time. I guess today just made me think of her and the fun we used to have when we were kids, well teenagers anyway. Those were some good times.

Even now, we don’t see each other often and our lives are very different. She is getting a PHD in New York and I am a stay-at-home mom in PA. However, she was down in June and we picked up right we left off. Not many friendships can last that long and still be friends when we see each other. I am truly lucky person to be in a friendship like that.
