Friends from afar




Sometimes it is hard to explain a friendship. Here are four people that I would consider good friends; although I hadn't met the Mr. or the two kids before. The 'mom' was a young teen in Mexico when I was a younger teen. We stayed with her family when visiting my great uncle there. We made memories I'll not forget. The kindnesses shown. My sister and she kept in touch through all the years. We visited that area in Mexico again several times and again the welcome warm and fellowship was strong and true. She married and moved down under. To the land of kiwis and kangaroos. Two lovely kids. A very engaging and entertaining husband. We had a very nice afternoon with them today. Friends... a special thing indeed. We're lucky they came to visit on their way across the country.

  1. Special times! I could not help but wonder if she has a sister living in San Antonio. She looks so much like one of the friends I knew when we lived there, her name was Viviana. Don't know if you would know. Have a great weekend!

  4. Interesting to see who you had for guests. We saw them in Texas but really didn't get to visit with them. Interesting they are up this way now! "Ours" is a small world for sure. We did meet her sister Rosa Elia there!
