I had an old friend visit for Labor Day, and met a couple new ones.
This is my friend Todd M. On the left is a picture of us in 1996, when we were back in college. On the right is us, literally, today, on the Roanoke City Market.
Mom said we look better now. I just know we're older and larger.
Todd is one of my oldest and dearest friends, but I don't get to see him often because we live on opposite ends of the state (and we both tend to be quite busy). It's a rare occasion when we can get together in person.
Today he stopped in with his new wife and son and had a late lunch with me downtown.
Todd has a beautiful family. At left is is his lovely wife, Cynthia, and at right is Emmett, their son. They are both a delight. Todd is a lucky man.
Just so you'll know, I do realize these pictures are blurry as hell. My old standby digital camera is falling apart after four years of steady use, and I'm slowly talking myself into replacing it. The pace becomes quicker when I get pictures like this.
It's always a treat when you meet an old friend. That happened to me back in June when I was eating lunch at Shane's Rib Shack and met one of my old best friends that I haven't heard from since 2003.
ReplyDeleteCool. You must have been happy and surprised to see your friend.
