Good friends

It's been good to have had several visits over Easter -- first from my brother, sister-in-law and wee neice, and then from friends from school and uni, and their three kids. We go for such long periods of time without seeing family and friends, and so it's wonderful to have the opportunity to be able to catch up on all those lost months, and spend such an intensive time together. It's worth it! When they all go, and the house is quiet again, you realize just how important friendships are. Sometimes we neglet them, but when we make the effort, the rewards are plentiful and longlasting.
