It's always good to visit with friends

This past weekend we had made plans to visit with our friends who recently moved out of town.  With college football not yet having started, we knew this would be the best time to head over their way, and the rest of life just isn't too crazy yet.  We left late afternoon and Jodi made us dinner.  We had such a lovely visit and truly enjoyed ourselves.  We were there about four hours and still made it home before it was awfully late.  It was tough to say good-bye because we aren't entirely sure when we'll get to see them again, but it was absolutely wonderful to be able to spend the time together that we did.  I love how Jodi put it later, "Old-town friends sharing dinner in our new-town backyard makes our hearts (and bellies) full."  And as someone who not too long ago was the the new-town person, I totally get it.
