We made-up this word to describe our friends from Texas.
Jeff and Shannan were our neighbors.
We did everything together, holidays, birthdays, births and deaths, weekends, weekdays, dinners, etc.
We would plan events but more often
it was spur of the moment, get together's.
Sometimes, we would laugh until tears rolled down our faces.
Then they moved back to Texas, 10 years ago,
right after their son was born.
But this Christmas, they came up for the week.
It was the first time back since they moved away.
We did so many things.
