Because eventually, everything's in the past. You breathe, accept the gifts and move on.

Friends By Referral

I met a new friend. By referral. I like how that's been happening. People keep telling other folks "Hey, you should look that girl up. You'd get along with her." And they do. And we do. I prefer not to dwell on the conversation that precedes that recommendation. (The last time I got a referred friend she told me I'd been called "eccentric." Ultimately, I decided to take that as a compliment. What choice did I have?)

Anyway. This new girl. She's actually from this area, born and raised, but has been living in the Pacific Northwest for her adult life and only just moved back. Her daughter's in kindergarten, though not in Boss Girl's class. And her son's a few months younger than Dubya.

She's a singer, very artsy, and very horsey. She seems a little eccentric herself. And I mean that in the best possible way.
