Monday

Monday I met two very old friends for lunch. I didn't get a picture of the three of us or even of my lunch. I was too busy sitting and listening. I did take a picture from my car when I first got there though. The place we went is way up on a hill looking down over the mall. First pic is just plain and the second was a panoramic view. It made me laugh the way it pieced cars together and cut some off into little partial cars.



So why was I busy sitting and listening? Both friends are very big talkers and they pretty much do ALL the talking. I've made attempts in the past to break into the conversation but I found it was way easier to just sit and listen. 

Both were talking about all the places they've traveled to. I finally said, "you two have been all over the place and me, well, I took a trip to the Walmart the other day." One of them said that I needed to get a passport and she was going to take me on one of her trips.

These are both girls that I have known since I was about 5 or 6 years old. Even though I don't do much talking, it's always nice to get together.

How wonderful that you got to have lunch with them. It's okay that you haven't been anywhere. It's nice to be home. That is a lovely view.

Sounds like fun. Sometimes it is nice to sit back and listen.
Funny to see the little pieces of cars. :)

That's great that you are still in touch! It might be nicer if you had a chance to talk too, but.... A lot of my friends are that way, that's why I blog. It gives me a chance to talk too. 😊

Those photos are very interesting. I see what you mean about the cars :))) How nice you got out with your friends. Sometimes it's just hard to get a word in edgewise :) I'm a big listener and rarely jump in as it's like letting a horse out of the gate and off we go, lol!
