Friends Matter...

"they are the butter that makes our GRITS so savory - and the pepper that gives them kick. They are the heirloom china that makes our parties so much fun. They are sweeter than a Southern accent and more refreshing than iced tea on a sunny veranda. They are the jokes that make us laugh until we cry, and the music that stirs our hearts." -grits guide to life: friends are forevah.

Allie came to visit this past weekend and it was a highlight of my summer here, no doubt. It was an awesome weekend just spent talking and walking (we did plenty of walking).
We learned that in the City if you get a bit lost... you just keep walking and surely you are bound to come across something that looks familiar. That happened plenty of times. We took the subway from the Union Sq. area up to the American Natural History Museum (Allie hadn't seen the big T-rex and I wanted a refresher). Anyways, we left there and decided to walk home via central park. (we saved big bucks on not taking cabs this weekend!) It was a long walk and we even resorted to playing "car games" it was so long. Movie quotes and song chorus trivia. Allie's good at that game.

Trivia: I said "are we going right or left???" and Al says, "right like we're goin' right or right like we're goin left?" can you guess what movie this line is from?

or this one: "But, Clinton'd kill me if I spent $30 bucks on a sweater thing. That Jaclyn Smith knows what she's doin'..."

p.s. this is my last week in NYC, time really does fly by.
