A Foreign Postcard

Yesterday I got a postcard in the mail. It came all the way from Berlin! What a surprise to find a note from my friend Judy who has been in Germany with her husband, Daniel Hauben. They stayed in a little apartment in the tower of an old church and one day Judy walked the Berlin Wall. I have appreciated being invited along on her travels. Once upon a time we traveled together. We drove an old farm tractor down country roads in Franklinville, NY and sang silly songs at the top of our lungs. We walked home from her grandma's house on the railroad tracks and played in the nearby creek. It's been a long, long time since I last saw Judy. Now she lives in NY City, but maybe one day we'll catch up again. That would be fun.

  3. Martha, your friendship with Judy, and some of the things you experienced at girls, reminds me so much of my relationship with Kris, my lifelong friend. What a blessing to have friends like this.

  4. Oh how fun! We moved a lot when I was growing up, so I don't have any of those childhood friendships that lasted. How fun to get the postcard..and it's a pretty one, too! I'd love to travel to Europe some day!
