Vistas

When nothing's changed between old college friends, and the memories flood back, the laughter and ties immediately remembered...you feel proud of that Mediterranean Pasta Salad that needed only diced banana peppers to take it over the top. Staying up until 1:30 in the morning reconnecting after almost twenty years of life going on, it's an amazing feeling to have people in the world who have always known you, still do, and consider you to be like family. Catching up on everything you remember to be true about each other, reaffirming that these people resonate with your core self, and standing firm that a yearly repeat of this familiarity and celebratory reunion must occur, only next time at the cabin. It's good to know that old memories can be reignited so effortlessly, that today's successes can so seamlessly weave into the stepping stones of the past. And alongside, it affirms those who ARE family in this little ol' farming community we've been so blessed to reside in for twenty-some years and counting.
