This was a good day

It was just an ordinary day. I don’t remember what we were doing, but we were in a shopping center where Off the Grid had set up. A bunch of food trucks out in the parking lot with a guitar player and folding chairs. I don’t remember what we ate or what we talked about. But I do remember this butterfly that kept circling around and landing on Randy. Again, I don’t remember, but I’m sure this led us to a conversation about how when we were kids there were butterflies all over the place, plus caterpillars and a variety of insects that you never see anymore. That was one of the beauties of being the same age, from the same place, with shared memories and shared values - we mostly knew what the other meant and we could always talk, no matter where we were.

It was just a really nice day when we had the time to just sit in the sun and eat junk food, just enjoying being together.
