We zipped up the western side of Michigan to visit Pam and Rick Jones. Pam and PJ were besties back in their high school days, and kept in casual touch through the decades of careers and raising kids. They had recently moved back up to Michigan from Texas. Just like that <snap!> our friendship was back in place, as it always was, which is a sign of a true friendship, says PJ.

PJ & Rick back in the olden days. Again, feel free to tell us how we look exactly the same after all these years.

Rick and David took a ride in Rick's classic car and enjoyed a golf day. PJ & Pam kayaked, but were too busy enjoying the water to take pictures.
