When Bill and I were teens (a long time ago) and in need of a listening and caring ear, our friends George & Shirley were there for us. They were parents to Bill's high school buddy Steve, who introduced me to Bill.
They retired to the Arkansas Ozarks many years ago. After a quick drive back to Kansas last week to pick up some shop equipment that missed the moving van, we took the long way home to visit them. Good thing we were in the truck . . . George, a fellow wood craftsman, gave Bill a bunch of cedar and a band saw. Two pieces of the cedar are rough-cut with the bark still on the edges --- hopefully one will be made into a bench to sit in front of our cabin.
Lovely serendipity!
ReplyDeleteIt IS cool how things come together!
ReplyDeleteBTW, we might be driving to Kansas next year to a family reunion (probably in Manhattan, KS). Bill told me we should try to get together with you guys somewhere then.
