Misty Water-Colored Memories
Okay, so our memories weren’t really misty nor water-colored, but they were memories. BrightStar and our other friend (who used to be our drummer back at the old church) came over for dinner and catching up after way too many years of not seeing each other. I hope that we can get together more often when BrightStar is in town.
We spent a lot of time with those “girls” all those years ago and it’s really a blessing to see them grown up and successful and (mostly) happy. And I think it’s very cool to be able to sit down together as adults and talk about our lives and jobs and kids and families and so forth. Don’t get me wrong - I loved those teenage girls a lot, but there is a whole new dimension to our relationship in being together as adults with all sorts of life experiences behind us. And yet, it felt like it hadn’t been many years since we had seen each other. It’s a wonderful thing to be able to pick up a friendship and feel like you can still share important things with each other even though several years have passed.
And I think it was right and fitting that our evening ended with sharing music together. I believe we all agreed that we missed the choir community that we had all that time ago - the sharing and creating of music - something that we all love.
So, thanks BrightStar and Drummer Girl (I’m sure she would probably hate that nickname, but it’s late and it’s all I got) for the visit. May the next visit be much sooner than the last :)

I am totally “Drummer Girl”. It was really nice to hang out and meet LG - she is adorable and I can see why you would want to write about her all the time.
Thanks again for having us over and I am sure I will see you before another 12 years have past.
