Today was the day that I took the girls got to meet my best friend in the world Lisa Karau (Michels). Lisa and I go WAY BACK. We were trying to figure out how long ago we met, and we figured we have known each other about 26 years. This is longer than any other friend and that would count the best friends I had in high school who I have lost touch with. I had prepared the girls to meet her and had told them a few things. The girls liked her immediately. They met Lisa's dogs and we had lunch at Applebee's. Lisa got the girls a huge bag full of gifts and gave them about 7 boxes of clothes she had collected. The girls were overwhelmed by all the gifts and very grateful.
They also got to ride in Lisa's convertible. Lisa and I tried to catch up at the restaurant talking about everything as we often do. I told the girls that Lisa's grandpa use to marvel at how much we could talk to each other. "Do you ever shut up" he used to say. No. Lisa and I can talk for hours no matter what the subject, situation or anything. Talking to Lisa never gets old.
I was glad that the girls got to meet her since she has been and continuous to be such an important person in my life. She said the girls were sweet. Then it was time to go home. I was hoping they would go to sleep on the way back but did not. I sorted all the clothes with the younger two while the oldest two went to soccer with Alex. This was fun for them since they got so many clothes.
Another week has come and gone. We are looking forward to meeting the Kneusel-Rivera cousins on Sunday. Summer is slipping away....
