ARLINGTON, Texas Janice Harris Lord has always believed the more time you spend with someone, the more you find in common.
And the more you find in common, the easier it is to build a friendship.
Time spent together over food is even better.
Lord teared up as she watched friends of almost 20 years arriving for a long-awaited picnic at Lake Arlington.
Everyone brought food, wore a smile, and opened their hearts and arms to hugs.
“I thought we might have some today who wanted to mask and distance, but everybody is just so ready,” Lord said. “Ready for real relationships again.”
