we lie around
on a rainy afternoon
listening to the radio
to hear
one of us
a first-time storyteller on npr
as she shares with the nation
her bittersweet tale
there are 11 people of all ages
4 dogs of all shapes
with all
the food, drinks, games
and
good cheer
we could possibly need
and no timeline or agenda
on this long lazy weekend
all tucked in together
in 1 cozy house
on 1 pretty lake
and all that
equals
1 huge level of comfort.
—-
it is one of the blessings of old friends
that you can afford to be stupid with them.
– ralph waldo emerson
That is indeed 1 huge level of comfort. Thanks for sharing it on this rainy Sunday over here 🙂

This was a special time spent with loved ones that you can “be yourself” every which way but loose. And even loose, sometimes. 🙂

I love that photo. It speaks volumes. Sounds like a perfect weekend. I and five close friends am off to Spain Thursday to Sunday. There will be much laughter, fun and relaxation all washed down with a few wines and fine food. We’ve all been through a lot over the past few years so hanging as friends will be perfect.
Your post has really made me look forward to it.
