The 2 Gails

I have two friends named Gail and yesterday I replied to an e-mail I thought came from the Canadian Gail but it, in truth, came from the American Gail. She e-mailed me today to tell me about the mistake. As I reread the letter I'd sent, I realized it applied to the American Gail also. They've both become good friends that I thoroughly enjoy spending time with and that's the gist of what I'd written in the e-mail.

At our Florida park we have a huge circle of friends that we chum around with, some more often than others but they're all fun people to socialize with. I'm constantly amazed at how well we all get along and maybe it's the loose association where we shift easily from one group to another with no-one feeling left out.

I get a little wistful when I'm home in Canada because I really miss these people and regret the distances between our northern homes. A few live rather close to my area and we meet occasionally for lunch or for a trip to the casino but we all have our northern lives to live which are very different from the vacation atmosphere when we're in Florida.

I hope to see both of the "Gails" at our park reunion next month but, if not, we'll take up where we left off this winter at our Florida park. I'm looking forward to it.
