Our friendship chairs sat empty on the lawn for much of the last two years. Everybody was social distancing. Now, friends are beginning to trickle back into our lives. I went to the optometrist this morning; my eyes are fine, and no new glasses are needed. It’s the end of a health care week when I see a doctor daily, and I’m ready for a break.

I’m also in good health, even after my bought with Covid. As I pulled into the driveway, I saw Maria and a friend sitting in the chairs, talking, laughing, and having lunch.

It’s nice to see people in the friendship chairs again.
