Ten-Word Tuesday. The Old Friend Edition.
This past weekend, Bossy’s husband’s best friend from college came to spend the day with the Bossy family. Bossy’s husband has seen him only twice in twenty-one years, and Bossy has met him only once.
But it sure doesn’t feel like their time together was that scarce, as this dear friend quickly assimilated into the Bossy household. In one afternoon, he and Bossy’s husband relived their college days by driving, walking, talking, drinking, trespassing, eating, and even stealing.
Bossy can sum up their friendship in this way:
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy about an old dear friend and the way you rekindle old times, even if you don’t see each other that often?
And be sure to check back later today for the best friendiest comments on the web.
