01/08/2004: "Friendship"

We had a very nice lunch together. I got over to their house about twelve, and we drove in the station wagon down to Watchung. Soup and salad bar. We talked about candle-making, we talked about rummage, we talked about the VNA office, we talked about J. I heard about trips to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia; about Trinidad, about Millington in 1962, about Indiana. She talked about her Dunkard forebears, and so did I. They thought backto the day they met me, five years ago, a t a church cleanup day. I told them about Brownlee place, and Torfoot, and Pretty Prairie. After we had finished lunch we went back to their house and talked for an hour more. She's been frail for a few years now, and I realized it was time or me to go. A very warm day, for January.
