The previous couple of months have been dotted with visits from associates that Tom and I haven’t seen in awhile. It’s been good to note how simply we’ve slipped again into renewing these friendships. Simply final week, a fellow artistic that I met quickly after we moved to our little city 24 years in the past, stopped by to go to after years of being elsewhere. With my sister Heidi, the three of us spent a day sitting exterior within the sunshine with foods and drinks, catching up, and reminiscing. At one level Tom ducked out the door to say hello and our good friend talked about how a lot she had loved the kayaking movies he had been posting fairly frequently for awhile—one thing lots of you our readers, had commented on as effectively.
So when Tom and I sat down this week to debate what to ship out to our readers for Thursday and Saturday posts, these feedback got here to thoughts. For as we speak’s Throwback Thursday, Tom has chosen three movies to re-post. They’re ones that take him again to particular moments and locations which have given him a way of solace previously. They’ve a relaxing and meditative high quality that we wish to share with you as we speak.
