Loss... and Found

I was overcome with a sense of loss and grief yesterday. I went to visit my friends, three of them, and they were gone. Like gone-gone. No longer there. Poof! Forever. The place was empty. I peered in the windows trying to find a trace of them but there was none. So, I did what any loyal person would do. I tried to track them down. I called 411 to get the scoop. They gave me a new street location (oh, thank God!) and a phone number. I called it. I felt a little like Columbo. When the call connected, this is what I heard, "All circuits are busy. Please try your call again later. Announcement. Eight switch four eight dash four." Excuse me but WTF? I drove around in a haze. What do I do now? My plans were crushed. All the dreams that could have been made a reality were no longer possible. "It could have been so beautiful. It could have been so right..." Yes. I am quoting Tiffany but I should be quoting Enrique. "You can run you can hide but you can't escape my love!"

I sent an email to them this morning, hoping for a reply and I got one. They are alive and well but have moved out of town, to Tucson. They said I am welcome to visit them whenever I want to!
Oh, my friends. I love you!

The best furniture and nick-knack store EVER!*

*That's my slogan. Not theirs. But they can use it if they want to because they are good to me and I love them!
