Beautiful scenes! Thanks, Jezer. I've got a few leftover peeves I'd be glad to give you.
Not being able to get in touch with people is very frustrating. That is the main reason that, when I got married, I decided to keep my birth name. When women change their names, friends who knew them when they were single but have lost touch over the years have no way to know what their current last name is, and thus no way to contact them.

With some people we don't get in touch anymore since they moved. When people change their location they get new lives, new friends, their interests change and they are bothered by different problems than you. With time you begin to have less and less in common, you only share your the most important life events and once you may stop sharing even them. It's like becoming unused to each other.
This is a very good peeve Jezer. Losing touch with friends or even family members can hurt. But there are so many different reasons that folks drift apart. LIfe changes daily and drifting away happens. And I must confess, I have been the one who drifted away at times. When I was on the road, it was much harder to keep in touch with folks. I've also moved 9 times over the years to different states and then back here to Georgia. So this is where I drew the line and said, "No more". I'm done with the moving. LOL
Getting married 3 times also made many changes. I've lost contact with some family that I married into, as well as friends associated with those marriages. Bummer. But that's just life as I know it. It just happens.
On a happier note, a young friend whom I took under my wing when his home life went to pieces came to visit me with his new wife. So young!!! But they are well matched from what I can tell. I hadn't seen him in nearly 2 years, then he showed up at my door yesterday afternoon. Awesome! I now have his new cell number and address and hopefully we will stay in touch!
Well and especially in the internet age can be challenging keeping in touch when the old super highway goes down for an extended period. I use Skype to call everyone/keep in touch but with no consistent connection, well . . . at least with Skype I could type an IM and when there was a tad bit of juice it would send it.
Big peeve of mine. People just don't call or send emails or whatever. After a while I stop trying to reach them too, to be honest... . So we never get to hear about each other.
My biggest peeve would actually be "disappearing during someone's time of need". . I really could have used support at one point, and people I thought would help just vanished into thin air...
