My good friend from many years ago – so many years ago that I met her in a totally different part of my life – has been visiting for a few days. I enjoy having her here, we always commit a whirlwind of shopping, usually at antique and consignment stores. Even though it is wearying, the hunt for the perfect set of candlesticks that someone else once used and that I absolutely do not need is great fun. I’ve developed the ability to use shopping trips as gallery expeditions so the actual spending is only a tick or two above necessities. One more day and then she’ll return to the north, the opposite direction of her origin.
