Yesterday my favorite sister-in-law and I took a road trip to see a long-time friend that we had not visited in quite a while. We put together a meal, loaded the food and ourselves into her SUV, and trekked off three hours to our friend's house.
Now, my sister-in-law and I had just visited and caught up about a month ago when our grands were exhibiting livestock at a local fair. Then, we've also chatted via phone a couple or three times since. Yet, I noticed that the moment we got face to face for loading the food, we began chatting.
For the entire trip to and from our friend's house, we chatted - never a quiet moment. The entire time we were at our friend's house one of the three of us was yakking. We talked about children, grandchildren, parents, housekeeping, sewing, cooking, health and our current medications... you name it, we touched on it.
While our bodies were probably a bit tired from sitting still on the drive to and fro, neither of us was too tired to chat. Even when we returned to the house, my sister-in-law came in and checked out my recent stitching projects and we kept on chatting till she climbed into her SUV and backed out of the driveway.
Maybe, instead of Wednesday, yesterday should be referenced as Chat Day!
