David.

Because my classes were cancelled, I went to my parents house. David, the contractor's son was there with his dad. At first he was shy. He always is. Then he barreled toward with his prized birthday card in hand. At that moment we become instant friends - again. David helped me play doctor to the our herd of kittens. He was the official pitchfork holder when I cleaned the barn. His constant chatter kept me company. We walked in the creek. I soaked him with water. David was a good sport when I beat him at cards despite his attempts to cheat. He even helped me wash my futon covers. He constantly kept me on my toes. I had fun. At the end of the day I was exhausted. Much to David's parents pleasure, he was exhausted as well. I think he was asleep before his dad's truck left the driveway. Rock on.


Late Thursday afternoon, my high school friend Morgann and I visited. We sipped iced drinks while munching on cookies. We caught up and reminisced. She goes to school at Ohio State - a totally different world from Penn State. Morgann was the person who always had a genuine smile - some things don't change. She's going to Paris for a week in the fall. I think she'll fall in love, as I did, with the city. I miss Paris and everything attached to it.
