Togetherness

It's only Wednesday evening and I have already been off island twice this week.   Appointments on two separate days...I think my dermatologist will become part of my family...and lots of errands, Christmas shopping, Costco...yada yada.   So on the way home I went topside with my book to read and along came a neighbor and then a friend from church and we all sat and gabbed.   "So where is BJ?"  they asked.   I said he was home.   "You mean, he did not want to come off island with you?"...at which point I began to explain that we each have our own agendas off island...mine is not the hardware store and Home Depot!   Frankly, I think we both relish our days off island by ourselves, to do what we want to do when we want to do it.   We enjoy doing things together but shopping is not one of them.   Isn't that why God created girlfriends???!!!
