I have lived in Chico Ca, for 30 years now, and met, and had BBQs with a few, but recently learned there are a few others that are but short driving distance away.
I often tell myself we need to all get together.
My wife and I don’t travel much since her paraplegia stops here from getting around too much now that we are getting older.
So my best friends are now online.
I chatted with her a few times, but not in quite some time.
As time goes by, more and more FRiends I have known through the years here are heading home. She will be missed.
You do need to get together. I have with quite a few, and I cherish their friendship. Several have passed and I have loving memories of when we were together.
