These past couple of days have been super special. It is great to be able to be with friends who know you well even after you’ve been away from the US. We all change and grow but if our friendship foundations are strong enough they can endure those changes gracefully. And in the best cases, this just makes the friendship even more precious.
This weekend was actually rather rainy and stormy in Atlanta so we kept having to choose multiple activities in case the weather didn’t cooperate with our first plan. This lead to many earnest checkings of weather.com which made me laugh because rarely did it ever tell us anything we couldn’t have found out by simply looking outside. I do understand and appreciate weather forecasting services in the US but it is just one of the many things is no longer part of my ‘normal’. But despite the uncooperative weather we managed to have lots of fun just hanging out, enjoying good food, visiting an art museum with live jazz music, getting a walking tour of Emory where Jenny V. works and driving around together. I am so thankful for Jenny and Jenny.
