Summer nights...

Last night, after dinner, we went to the park. What's the best way to insure you see a friend there? Wear no make-up and don't do your hair! That will do it every time! We ran into a friend who lives very close by, but we never see anymore. Both of our lives are crazy! She and I met shopping one day right after we had K (26 months) and her baby (B).

When we met, we stood chatting in the baby aisle for a while and it turned out our little girls were 2 days apart, we both knew some of the same people at [Local Major University], we lived fairly close to each other, and we both LOVE coffee. We traded email addresses and met for coffee a few times before our maternity leaves ended. After we went back to work, she came over for a couple of play dates and then life got too crazy.

Anyway, as we were walking over to the park, I called to see if she was home and to see if she wanted to join us at the park. No answer, so I left a message. When we got to the park, she, her husband, her dog and her little girl were already there playing. N (4.5) loved playing with the dog. T swang and toddled. K and B played, and the adults chatted as much as possible. It was a lovely evening. It was exactly the way summer nights were meant to be. Low-key, relaxing and fun.

I know it was tough for you when your friend moved away recently. Maybe this (semi) new person will become a new friend! That's cool that you were all at the park at the same time. :-)
