Bill and Julia Visit
Summer arrives in all its splendor.
Flowers in the fields, myriad of greens
of the uncountable trees, hot days with
bright
blue skies and birds from the south
all return as they have for eons.
A delight of the season is the long
visit
from Florida of Bill and Julia.
Our former town-mates some years ago
chose the warmer clime. Now we
get to see them during their annual
visit.
Bill is a martial artist, accomplished
poet
and enlightened friend. Bill's muse
Julia,
despite her denials, has the heart of a
poet,
artist and creative thinker.
We meet at the improbably towny eatery,
where artists and poets often lunch,
the Chinese buffet. We pass hours
talking. Past memories, current family
happenings, local, national and foreign
events, and health of the old, are all
topics.
Meetings friends, who can share life's
pleasures and travails, is a delight of
living.
