Connecting old friends

May 24, 2015 Sunday

1:31pm
Back at the Ninety-Nine in Woburn again.  Having lunch with Mom and an old friend of hers from our hometown.  You remember [name redacted]?

4:42pm
You have fun today?

I adventured into the Back Bay to pick up Mom’s friend and get to see her. 

Her daughter is Sis’ best buddy from high school, so she set it up and I carried it out!  I think the message has gone out, “If you want to see her one last time, come now!”

6:17pm Phil
Oh yeah! That’s cool!
