Roger: Laura!
Laura: Oh, hi, Roger.
Roger: How have you been?
Laura: Fine.
Roger: I hear you went back to Seattle for a few days.
Laura: Yes, I just got back yesterday.
Roger: Did you have a nice visit?
Laura: Really nice. It was good being back home and just relaxing. My brother Mark was there, too. You've met Mark, haven't you?
Roger: Sure. I met him when he was here in Chicago last year. What's he up to these days? Still playing the guitar?
Laura: Yes. As a matter of fact, he just started his own band. How's everything with you and Carol?
Roger: Great.
Laura: How are the kids?
Roger: They're both fine.
Laura: Gee, I haven't seen them in so long. They must be really big.
Roger: Well, why don't you come over sometime? Carol and the kids would love to see you.
Laura: I'll do that. I'll give Carol a call during the week.
