This friend of mine…

Shared a book…with reading teacher me…a comic book to be exact…originating from her home country…of Belgium…first published in 1945…it remains a popular comic series to this day…the fantastical stories center around young Suske en Wiske aka Spike and Suzy…bumbling Ambrose…and strongman Jethro…

A group of friends…living as a family…who go on grand adventures…and in this specific tale…the grand adventure…takes them…to Texas…read the story…ok…didn’t really reeeeaad…the story…more like read the pictures…but a picture…can tell…a thousand words…

And these…tell one of friendship…humor…trust…having fun…saving the day…watching each other’s back…and how perfect this is…this fictional story of years past…hitting home…right here…today…that friend of mine…her adorable Belgian mother here for a visit…reaching out…opening up…chatting…laughing…telling stories…

Making this old gal…on her own grand adventure in Texas…feel just…like family…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
