Sirpa and I have known each other for 27 years, since first grade. We don't meet all that often (we live in different cities) but when we do, it's the best. We both wore light blue jeans today - and had both just started wearing them a few days ago since it's spring again (we don't wear light blue jeans in the winter). We both had wondered how the ducks keep warm in the winter and have started to love going to bed early. We find ourselves talking a little silly with each other like we wouldn't with anyone else. I have the best laughs with her, absolutely. She knows my family and I know hers. I love our friendship that is so honest and fun and enduring and genuine, and how the years just make it better.

Love people, really get to know the ones in your life, cherish your memories together, care for their needs, feed them, take care of their hearts, laugh and cry with them. There's nothing better.

During 13 days in Berlin I took these two photos and had four cups of coffee (my coffee cravings still really haven't come back after the longest flu in January). But we did try one new café, CK (I cannot go to Berlin and not try a new café). And I met Simone whom I've only known through instagram so far - such a lovely new acquaintance. (And, as usual, was spoiled with good food at my uncle's!) Happy days!
