comfort conversation - by b

kristin's sister karen arrived yesterday. and our friends ariege, john, stella and hugo left not too long ago --like a week or two. i really like the familiarity of people i have known for so long and am very comfortable with. i don't really realize it day to day when i don't have it --- but i when i have the chance to sit and talk with somebody so familiar, like karen, or ariege or john, i know that it is one of the things i miss about being here.
