Ice cream with friends

I got to have ice cream with friends two different nights in two different weeks.  It had been three years since I had seen one of the friends and almost twenty years since I had seen the other one.  Facebook is a funny thing, but without it, ice cream would not have happened for sure with one, and maybe not with either friend. And, they couldn't have happened if we still lived in MN.
I had an amazing time.  The kind of time when you feel all filled up when you are driving home.  Not from the ice cream, but from the joy of knowing that some friendships are just plain wonderful.  They stand miles and time and just keep filling you up.
I'm not sure there was a moment of silence in the hours, yes HOURS, we spent together.  Both evenings ended because of time constraints, not because we were finished being together.
Sara, Kelly, thanks for taking the time to meet me half way.  I hope it can happen again next summer!
