FRIENDSHIP

Lots of things change in life.

The ranch hand's ubiquitous body build has somehow expanded in some places, fallen in unfortunate areas, and wrinkled beyond belief in others????

Beloved family members are gone, but not forgotten....treasured for their wisdom, contributions....and their love.

The world has somehow evolved cell phones (some smart...some Wright City dumb..like mine), computers, HD television (we had only channel 7 in B/W), and a myriad of scientific gibberish that an ole fat boy could never fathom?

Some things never change.

Starting first grade, the ranch hand made some friendships thru the various public school grades that have lasted for the long run....55 years and counting on a few. That is a measure of wealth that can not be denied.

On occasion, an ole buddy rises from the ashes of your humble scribe's senility and re-awakens that kinship of a shared past.

Thank you, GLNROZ, for that which can be truly valued.
