A beautiful fall day found Scarlett sitting on her front porch, enjoying a glass of white wine — a Riesling named Relax, her favorite. An Amazon driver brought up a package with her name on it, but not who had sent it. It was in a bag with the blue smile on it, and it sounded like it had a bunch of nails or screws inside. She rapidly opened it up to find a huge bag of candy corn — her favorite for Halloween. She knew immediately it was from Robyn, who hates candy corn.
Excited, she poured out two big handfuls, and as she munched with delight, she called Robyn. After a two-hour conversation about all the things going on with each other, they hung up promising to call back next week — which will not occur, because they both stay pretty busy. Isn’t it nice to have friends that let you go long times in between conversations or visits, and you start over like you were with them yesterday? They are lucky they both have that type of relationship. Those are the friends you cherish the most.
Scarlett finished her wine and candy corn and went directly into the house to fill 6 Ball jars with Scarecrow Crack. One jar will be taken to a birthday party this Friday, with the hopes that they enjoy it as much as she does.
