Reconnecting with old friends

Yesterday I went to the Museum of Glass with a friend I have not seen in two years. Two years! How did so much time pass? We only live about 60 miles apart. The last time I talked to her on the phone, it was only because my purse called her and she called me back and that was close to a year ago if not more. I don't use instant messenger anymore since we switched cable providers, so we just never talk. How sad.

Darcy and I have been friends since high school. We played volleyball together all four years and became good friends at the end of our junior year and throughout our senior year. We drove to California with two other friends (who I have not talked to in ages either) and we camped the whole way. Darcy was the first person I called when my parents left on my first day of college. I didn't know anyone. She drove down with her mom a few days later to visit.

Darcy and I lead very different lives. I'm a stay at home mom of two. She's single and always very busy and active in different things. One thing about Darcy is that it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how different our lives are, it still seems like we can just pick up were we left off and keep going. Someday we will have Granny's Pie Shack and we will be outside on the porch sitting in our rocking chairs.
