We met up with some truly wonderful old friends at Blue Mountain Lake in the Adirondaks in upstate New York this month while visiting Jeff’s parents. Randi and Philippe joined us from Martha’s Vineyard with their family, Miles, Elie and Leo(the doggie), and Henry, Shawn and their one year old, Hugh made the drive up from Ithaca. We spent the weekend, kayaking, party barging down the lake, fishing, running, wake boarding, cooking great food, swimming, reading, and catching up with each other with long late night discussions and other general hoopla. Truly enjoyable! I went to Syracuse University with Randi, Philippe and Henry back in the day. Henry, Randi and Shawn were also bridemaids in our wedding. Henry looked cute in the butter yellow skirt! Here are some sappy quotes about friendship because it seems appropriate:
The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley
A friend knows the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails. ~Donna Roberts
If I had to sum up Friendship in one word, it would be Comfort. ~Terri Guillemets
Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends. ~Virginia Woolf
The language of friendship is not words but meanings. ~Henry David Thoreau

What a splendid weekend spent together in an incredibly beautiful place! Even Leo’s sporting a smile 🙂 Philippe
How fun to see the bride and all the bridemaids and their families…who could imagine, almost a decade later! Mom
