Long-time friend Joann.
We’ve logged a lot of hours together on the deck.
We see her here every winter. She’s back east with her family in the summer. Lately she’s been spending more time there than here. Her family is here for a few days to help her pack up her things and move back there with them full-time. There was a big farewell party for her at the park tonight. It’s fun to meet her family and we’re enjoying them as much as we enjoy Joann, but they’re all leaving tomorrow.
We have those different times in our lives. Things change. It’s time for the next phase for Joann. We’ll still be in touch. We can visit them if we’re along the eastern seaboard, but that doesn’t happen much. We’ll miss seeing Joann here.
