Nine years ago, a
friend of mine from college came to visit with her husband and two
children over 4th of July weekend. I still remember what terrific
house guests they were. They were
pleasant and helpful. They cleaned up
after themselves. They made dinner for
us one night. And then as the ultimate house
guests, they washed the sheets and towels they used before leaving!
I was
reminded of their kind graciousness recently as we traveled for a long weekend
with another family. They were great
traveling companions. Conversation was
easy and we enjoyed each other's company.
The mom, who is incredibly thoughtful, brought all kinds of treats, and
made several of her specialties for us to enjoy. At departure time, her husband helped my
husband load our car with our luggage.
Visits from
friends and trips can create great memories.
And the memory of kindness during those special occasions endures as
well.
