OMG! We just ran into my ex-SIL at store-that-shall-go-unnamed-because-I-don’t-want-to-admit-shopping-there! She called out to us. She looks fabulous! She has dropped thirty pounds since last I saw her, and not using anything like hoodia weight loss pills. She’ a babe!

We talked for a few minutes, exchanged contact info, and learned we live quite close to each other. Is it wrong that I want to rekindle this relationship? I miss Maria so much, and have mentioned that once or twice (or three times) on this little blog. She and I had a rough start, but when our FIL passed away in Colombia back in 2000, and the brothers and my MIL flew to Colombia for a week, we stayed together, drove back and forth to Miami together, and really got to know each other, and formed a strong friendship. And then that was destroyed the way divorce can destroy friendships.

I lament to Sherlock quite regularly about how much I miss Maria. Tony and Maria and sherlock and I used to regularly get together for various activities. Those were the days. Sigh. There’s no reason we cannot try to build a new friendship with Maria and her new husband.
