Sharing a Park Bench, Quietly

 "Can you imagine us years from today, sharing a park bench, quietly?" - Simon and Garfunkel, Old Friends

 Maeve and K have been friends for a very long time. Maeve was, I think, about 17 months old when she and K started hanging out, so K would have been right around a year. We used to live only about 20 minutes apart, but we doubled that distance when both of us moved. But still, we make it work. When your friends have kids around the same time as you, suddenly you have even more in common!

I just wanted to tell a story in pictures, of Maeve and K's friendship. It makes me so happy that they are so sweet to each other. Real friends are the ones who've known you since before you had ANY social skills and love you anyway!
