Catching up with an old friend

A few weeks ago, on an internet group I belong to, there appeared a name from my past. The name of a girl I went to high school with, and had only seen once or twice since then. I took a punt it was the same person, and sent her an email. And it was her!

Today Louka and I went to visit her and her 7-year-old daughter. Their house has a huge gated deck, overlooking a lovely little creek, and we sat out there and had morning tea, then lunch, while the two girls played and we talked over everything we'd done since school. We had a lovely time, until Louka started to get tired and easily upset, so I took her home.
