Speaking of favorites and being overdue...

There is a delightful town called Ipswich, 

which is where I met Kathy & Gene many years ago,

playing the piano for their sweet little church.

Then I hailed off to Princeton for my grad school years,

where I lived with my favorite roommate of all time.

Then, my favorite roommate of all time left Princeton to move to Boston,

and these days calls the delightful town of Ipswich her home.

Hence, since I was in the area, 

it was obvious I would go to see her.

I met her adorable toddler,

with whom I played and in whom I delighted

while she and I caught up on so much, or as much as two good old friends can when they haven't really spoken in years,
plus there is a toddler in the room.

You see, while Karen's second baby was not yet quite overdue,

this visit was, by far.

Eventually the toddler went to bed,

and Karen and her husband Blair and I ate this delicious pizza

and talked until it was time for me to head on my way,

but long before the talking was actually over.

Just this week, that adorable toddler was joined by a baby brother,

and while he did turn out to be a bit overdue...

we'll have to make sure my meeting him isn't!
