How perfectly wonderful, after 12 hours of driving...and I actually did drive for an hour or so :)...
to be welcomed to Wisconsin with hot fried cheese. So yummy. It was great to meet Lisa's fiancee, Nick. Awesome guy. Since somehow we had let a crazy amount of time go by between visits, I had never met Evan who is 9. Last time I saw Isabelle, she was 2.
Lisa and I, although it's been 10 years, didn't really need to catch-up. We talk often enough to know what's going on with each other. But it was really, really nice to be in her presence. We sat by the fire, sipping brandy, as one by one the four boys faded and hit the sack. Fierce friends she calls us, picking up right where we left off, watching our daughters, born 20 days apart...walk side by side...just on the cusp of the age we were when we met. In the morning we made tentative plans to meet somewhere half-way next summer. Still...hard to part.
