Hi there, old friend.

Last year, at this very date, 7 friends and I spent a good 16 days in the states. I can't believe it's been a year already, yet it feels like ages ago. I loved that trip, even if it rained a whole lot. :) It's not about the weather, you know - it's how you take it. Deal with the weather and enjoy the drizzle and drip drop with your friends instead.

After a few days in Connecticut we (or I) drove all the way to Ottawa to visit a few friends there for a couple of days. One morning we ate breakfast at the most charming place, The Marlborough (non-smokers were also welcome). As we sat there enjoying ourself soaked in maple syrup, I looked out the window and this is what I saw. :)

Two old buddies, one quiet morning, a life in the past and good days ahead. 
Made me smile all the way home and finding this in my folder today gave me a new grin. 
Thanks, old folks. :)
