Making friends for the world to see
Let the people know you got what you need
With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there then every thing’s all right–Elton John/Friends
Let’s just get this right there out in the front: Chelle and Rick are wonderful.
There.I said it.
They are.
For those of you who don’t know them, they are people I’ve known since I was in Junior High (Rick) and High School (Chelle). Apparently, I was on Student Council with Chelle. There is photographic evidence to support this, though neither of us actually remembers it. It’s in the year book, so it must be true.
We were not good friends at the time, but have gotten to know each other in the last several years. They are great people.
So.
They moved into our neighborhood today. 1.33 miles away, Google says.
Only 1.33 miles!
We went over with a pizza and the mobile bar cart to help them settle in tonight, and OH MY GOD. They have the best deck in Tigard. We sat on the deck and drank a bottle of whisky and some beers, and smoked some cigars and talked.
We did not manage to do any unpacking. Uh. Oops. But we did get the bottle finished, so that counts as an accomplishment, right?
We also watched the moon rise and go from the East almost all the way to the West. Watching the moon is surely important.
Good times.
Looking forward to more of those good times.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Ginger and Stuff,
We love you.
Unpack before the Virginia game. We are SO having the away tailgater at your house!!!
