tonight! A dear friend of mine, whom I have not have the pleasure of seeing in about eight years, drove up to see me and have dinner. She lives in Cape Coral and has been working in North Port - so it was still about a ninety-minute drive after she got off work - but I am so glad she could come to visit! We talked and talked - that was even before dinner - and we were still yakking when we realized that it was nearly eleven! Brenda is one of those people with you you feel instantly comfortable - and it was like no time had passed at all. She has two lovely daughters, Adriana and Nora, and it was great to hear all about them and see how they've grown. Brenda has had some challenges - as we all have - but her abiding faith has helped her to prevail over everything that life has sent her way and both she and her little family are doing better than ever. We tried the new chinese restaurant near my house and it was really good. I'm sure the waiter wondered what the two chunky old ladies were laughing about, but we didn't care. Aggie got a couple of steamed dumplings and an egg roll in a doggie bag, which Brenda promptly fed to her when we got back from dinner. Sorry, Aggie - we ate all the crab rangoon. We had such a good time that we vowed not to wait another eight years before we get together again!
