Friends and Neighbors

A bit of planning and a bit of serendipity this weekend.

Visited former Post-Gazette colleagues whom I've kept in touch with via Facebook. We chatted for more than an hour, catching up and sharing news.  Margi and Rick. Thank you for letting me borrow the drill and for the coffee and conversation.

Later in the day, during my walk through the neighborhood and off my usual course because of road construction, I came upon another set of colleagues – one current and one former. Anita and Bob, outside and enjoying the late fall sun. We had such a nice chat; Anita brought down a couple of glasses of red wine while Bob tended to the weeding.

There is something special about community. Kind of like family ... you are born to it, but you can find it and make it as well.
