Chuck and Good Guy taught in the same high school in our old town and in spite of the fact that Chuck is a PK (preacher's kid) and Good Guy claims no faith, they are kindred souls. Go figure.
We don't have a lot of friends who are couples who we both like equally (and they aren't related to us). I have always thought that couples like that were hard to find, but these two interesting people are Our Couple.
We have watched their kids grow up, go off to college, choose their careers, marry, become parents; all in what seems an amazingly short period of time! Both of the parents are teachers and Mrs. Chuck is a musician as well, teaching piano, violin, and viola. She plays in a string trio and has exposed me to wonderful music I would never have found without her.
One time when we visited them, she wasn't feeling well, so we sent the guys off on their junket while we holed up at home and watched hours and hours of Pride and Prejudice, the BBC production with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.
We always have fun with them so I should have drawn some fireworks on the calendar around the date. No need to wish me a nice day. The next few days are guaranteed great!
That's so wonderful that you have a couple of friends :0) Seriously, it is difficult to find a couple that 1. compliments your personal couplehood and 2. Stays together! Many a great foursome has been marred by divorce.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a grand day, even though it's a guarantee.
Being a troll myself, I can completely understand why you'd like them. Location Location Location
We had "Our Couple" when we lived in IC. Then they moved northward and we moved southward, and we haven't done a good job of continuing to spend time together. We're only an hour apart but it might as well be 5. Time to call them up.
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice you have found a couple you both like equally that you visit with. Wish we could find one like that. That truly is a treasure.
