Old Friends

We went on a trip this last week to the city I used to live and work in. It was really weird overall. I was there about 40 minutes and I thought, "I just don't belong here". It was so strange. I used to love coming back to visit and go to all my favorite places. But now, not really at all. I liked seeing my old friends, but I would have liked it just as much anywhere. I really disliked fighting all the traffic and paying so much for gas. The food is better there, since there are more artisan chefs and restaurants, but beyond that, even Trader Joes seemed lackluster. I read a quote recently that alludes to the fact we should look forward to what we will become and let go of who we were. So, I don't think I am going back to that town anytime soon. At least, not for an extended stay. Perhaps to drop by and get a cup of coffee...beyond that, I'd rather stay home. 

I did really enjoy seeing my friend Tammy and Amy and seeing her kids again. She grabbed my camera and caught this photo: (I'll post as soon as I find the camera!)
