Friends and acquaintances

Today was a day with a good friend (from forever--we met in Jr. High), visiting an Herb farm, having a delightful lunch, and antiquing--funny how much of my youth is now in "antique" stores (or maybe not so funny!). Anyway, we had fun.

Tonight I joined my acquaintances for knitting. Another fun time as we admired sock yarn (ummm, silk), chatted about various yarn shops, admired each others projects, nieces (pictures), and talked about "stuff". One of the knitters just joined E (matchmaker service), so we all offered to sit discretely in the corner of the public place should she decide to meet with one of the three gentlemen who have indicated interest...Interesting to discuss "senior citizen" dating!!! Usually talk to (or hear from) daters half her age!!!

It is nice to have both in your life--lifelong friends, and acquaintances that you share an interest with (the knitting, not the dating).
