An old Friend

This last week I had a wonderful friend come to visit me. It was just what I needed this week. Good ol' roommate Helaine Rozelle came all the way from Dunbar WI to visit me while she was on spring break. I can't even tell you how nice it was to have a friend that I feel so comfortable with. We lived with each other for 1 year at Northland and the level of comfortableness that you develop with your friends from college especially your roommates is unexplainable. The odd thing is, you will never be in a situation that will prompt that kind of friend ship again. It was great to have that christian fellowship too.

We spent a day in New Jersey shopping with another friend. I loved having her in the kitchen while I cooked and cleaned up. Staying up late talking about nothing in particular. I loved have a shopping buddy who happens to have the same sort of habits and ideas about shopping.

Its funny how you can enjoy your time so much with someone and you don't even have to do anything in particular.

On Sat we went to the famous Scranton St. Patrick's Day Parade. It was so much fun. I do like to do stuff like that. I guess it has a reputation of being a pretty roudy parade but it wasn't too bad where we were. And guess who else showed up for the parade. The famous Hillary Clinton. She came so close to us and we got some very funny pictures of her. :-)

On saturday we sadly had to go and take Helaine back to her ride. I'm so glad that she gave up her break to come and cheer me up as Helaine can always do to any room she walks into. :-) I love her to death and I will miss her company in this Scranton PA.

Jess, you are so sweet. I am glad that my visit meant so much to you, but honestly, I can't really describe how fantastic it was to see you. People ask about break you (famous question) but I can't even tell them how glad I was to see you. And you are right, I get asked what I did, and it doesn't matter. Just spending time, even doing nothing, is worth it with a friend like you!
I love you!!
