Current Photo Friday theme: Leaves
The “Leaves” challenge is running for two weeks due to the Thanksgiving holiday. These beautiful plates are from Lynne a couple of years back, and I’ve been using them a lot lately. In fact, I served cranberry sauce on the larger one at Thanksgiving dinner.
Lynne and I had not seen each other for more than eight months. We have not gone that long since Tom and I moved to Texas in 1989. It has been hard. Tuesday night, Tom and I met her halfway between Houston and her home, about a 1.5 hour drive for us, so we could pick up her dog Minute to stay with us for a few days. We were socially distanced or masked, but I really couldn’t bear not getting a photo with her, COVID hair, pandemic weary, who cares.
Lynne and me
Today is her birthday. I will be so glad when this time is over and I can see her and our other friends without requiring logistics, precautions, anxieties, and worries. I dream of any return to normalcy, as I’m sure most people do.
Happy birthday, Lynne. What a long strange trip it’s been since we were twelve and became partners in crime, creative collaborators, band fans, and the countless roles we’ve had in each other’s lives. Thank you. I miss you still, even though I just saw you.
I am glad you were both able to see each other in person, for however short a time. I think everyone is pandemic-weary right now.
Yes, that’s true. I hope 2021 brings better days.
love you. it was great to see you. it has been difficult and weird to be apart. we will get through this like we have so many other things.
