RUNNING AROUND LIKE A MADWOMAN

Ever since our visitors from Connecticut left to return home yesterday, I have been running around like a madwoman, and I got to feeling a little sorry for myself.  Woe is me.  But then I thought of a relative of mine who is laid up with a painful leg after knee surgery, and I prefer running around.

Below is a picture of us with our friends: Grandpère, Hugh, Ginnie, and me.  As I said in my earlier post, we visited the Center for Traditional Louisiana Boat Building, in the picture below, and then had lunch at the golf club near Lockport, Louisiana.  The couple's son, Andrew, is not shown as he took the picture, and I'll have more to say about him later. 


Our friends and GP and I talked and talked. Ginnie and I stayed up very late talking Monday night, so we were tired and went to bed fairly early on Tuesday.  Ginnie and Andrew were my companions on the nightly walk with my dog Diana.

We lost track of our friends for many years after we moved and they moved, and then several years ago I found them through the internet, and we've stayed in touch ever since and visited back and forth several times.   Of course, we had filling in to do about what had happened over the years, but we seemed to get back quickly into the friendship groove.
