“the real test of friendship is
can you literally do nothing with the other person?
can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”

the start of more.
at the library
tucked into the honeycombs
reading and chatting
grandie r
sees a little girl
who wanders over
and she says to her,
“i’m four and i have some friends from school
but i just need one more and it should be you.”
she answers,
“okay, i’m four too and i’m mira,”
then she climbs on in
and that is how they became new friends.

the start of more memories.”

kinship in kinsale.
flew across the world
to visit the beautiful country of ireland
and
on my journey
i went to
kinsale, county cork
where i met
one of my fellow bloggers
a wonderful woman
tric
of
who writes
with honesty
and
a wicked irish sense of humor
about
life’s ups and downs
and
how to get through it all
and
it was quickly clear
from the moment we met
that
we are long-lost irish sisters.

seisiún.
it was
a lovely evening spent
in a warm and friendly house
filled with friends and family and neighbors
of all ages
and
performances
of all kinds
with voices and instruments
and improvs
and storytelling
and fiddling
and
it was important for us,
the americans,
to proudly represent our country
with our own
unique
belly dance act.
it was truly
a night to remember.

looking for good movies or television shows that we like.”

powerball.
carpool mates
ride with smiles
chat about the day
throw down our heavy things
relax at last
stop to buy a ticket
and
share
what we’ll do
when/if
we win
the 800 million
and
the first thing
that each of us names
is a donation
to someone else
who needs some of it
more than we do
and
it’s part of
the reason why
we
all ride together
with smiles.
I didn't have my glasses on....
