In Brownies and Girl Scouts we sang a little song "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold". I would say our recent trip to France had both. Rick and Diane are lifelong friends - the four of us actually went on our first dates together in high school, 50 years ago! Our new friends, Jim and Judy enriched our trip with their wonderful spirit of adventure and their ability to laugh at any situation. There is a lot of down time in travel - that "hurry up, and wait" mode and Jim was always ready with a story, or an observation that added meaning, and levity to the moment. We look forward to having them in our lives as new friends.
