To See a Couple of Friends

I went to the Springs to visit a couple of different friends I have. The first was a blast. We all had a good time and it was too short. Our kids played all afternoon. And all of us adults have a ton in common and can't wait to hang out again. My son didn't really want to leave either. He wanted to stay and play till he fell down from ehaustion.

But then I went to visit one of my other friend's. We have known each other since highschool. We have remained friends for 15 years. We don't always get to see each other as much as we would like. But once in a while we will call each other and chat. And at least once a year I see her and her kids. Which of course I have known all of the kids since birth.

But today she was in a bad mood. She has someone staying at her house with an additional 3 kids. And I guess they aren't the best roommates. The other chick doesn't pay rent or utilites. And she doesn't really help out around the house. Plus I guess her kids are not well behaved. So I knew this visit would be short.

But I didn't expect for my beloved friend to flip out when I said that I might come back down in a couple of weeks to her kids because of the Metaphysical Fair. And then her son asked what the fair was for and what it meant. I said it was for Witches and Pagans and had psychics and tarot card readers and oils and jewlery and stuff like that. My friend got very angry but motioned behind me that I was crazy to her kid. And he told me so. Then I said I didn't understand why she thought that since she used to go with me. I think she is actually the one who told me about Celebration Store. And took me to the fair the first time. We were still in highschool. Anyway she quickly said in a firm tone that it was time for me to leave. And then when we were in the garage getting ready to go, she said that what I told him was bad. That witches were bad.

I of course am devistated. I don't know if we will continue to be friends. She has changed her view points over the years. She is now a devout Catholic and a Republican. So we do have differences. But they usually don't cause much friction. So I am not sure where will go from here. I know I am probably jumping the gun. We will most likely make up. But I don't think it will be in the very near future. That woman can hold a grudge.

Blessed Be.
