Very good friends:  North and South

Carlos and Maria are our very good friends.  For many years we went to church together, we took vacations together, and our children played together.  Now Carlos and Maria live in Florida, and we still live here in Wisconsin.  Even though we live far apart, we’re still very good friends.

We communicate with each other very often on the Internet.  We send them messages about life about life down south.  We never forget each others’ anniversaries.  Last year we sent them Wisconsin cheese, and they sent us Florida oranges.  We also help each other very often.  Last year we lent them money when they bought a new van, and they gave us advice when we sold our house and moved into a condominium.
