A Visit with Joan

Last night we had a great night with my college roommate, Joan.

It had been over a year since we had last seen one another so it was high time for a visit.

We started out at Joan's house with some snacks, beers, and wine.

She shared her photos books with us from her travels to South Africa, Tanzania, and Russia.

It was fun to see these places through her beautiful photos.

After visiting at her home, we headed over to the Panther Pub in Greendale.

We enjoyed some more beer, wine, and  great bar food.

It was a wonderful night with a great friend.

Here, Joan is holding our rock which we took from a place called Swank a long time ago on one of our nights out.

We pass the rock back and forth between each other and keep track of all of our get togethers on a paper included in a box with the rock.

Here are some pictures from past visits:

 Christmas 2012, our last visit which included our friend Doe, too.

Yep, definitely Fat Boy's for New Year's Eve

 This was at a place called Tulips, yummy martinis

 This is the Harley Roadhouse

 This is a walk for Alzheimer's with Joan's mom.
Joan walked for her dad and I walked for my grandma.

 A visit in Delafield with our moms.
We are both blessed to have had such fantastic moms.
Joan's mom is watching us from heaven now.
I am so thankful we had these times to get them together.

More martinis with Alissa

I was wearing a circus tent here.

 A hot summer night at Swig, I think

Christmas 2012 again.

Joan has been such a great friend to both John and I over the years.

Whenever we get together, it is like no time passed at all.  We are just able to pick up where we left off and that is what real friendship is all about.

We love you, Joan!
