Reconnecting

There are some friends that seem like relatives and some relatives that are friends.  Growing up, I had lots of cousins around and I loved that I had so many.  I especially loved having some that were also my friends.  One of them was Dana.  My mom came from a family of thirteen siblings.  She was the third youngest.  She had 10 older brothers and sisters and two younger brothers.  The brother that was closest to her in age had 3 girls just like my family.  Dana and I were close in age and also the middle children.  We spent a lot of time together as young girls.

Years passed and we went our separate ways and only followed each other through family updates and later Facebook.  In 1999, while going through Georgia, we stopped and had a little visit.  We may have seen each other since then but I’m not sure.

Now that we are living in Tamworth and she came “home” for a family wedding, Dana and Mark came for an evening visit.  Our front porch was full of conversation, catching up, reminiscing and leaning about each other’s journeys.  When the mosquitoes pushed us inside, the chatting continued.  Ron and Mark enjoyed a game of pool and darts and Dana, Sarah and I continued to talk.

It was a lovely evening and I’m so glad that Dana found the time to reconnect.  They are hoping to sell in Atlanta and move to Tampa…another great place to have a visit!

Ron wanted to share a little taste of our “Frizzell” syrup from this year and Dana approved of the taste!

Philip…another taste test has been approved.
