"I wish the world was flat like the old days...

...Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back."*

If only! It's way too far between here and there. Oh, for longer visits. More coffee (or tea, depending). More laughs. More conversation. More funny kid antics.

I guess that's the sign of a good visit, it leaves you wanting more.


A visit from the most wonderful friends, those who understand you best. Kids of matching ages (almost exactly), lives that are similar but different, choices made that compliment each other. It all leads into good conversations on the deck in the morning sun, drinking coffee while the kids play. Board games and more conversation after the kids go to sleep. Fun times. We miss you already. I think we owe you the next visit. Let's line up the day timers.
