The Lovely Fosters!

We had our lovely friends the Fosters here for a long visit. The kids played nonstop and I got to catch up with Tess and hang out with "Baby Libess". She called me "Mama Libess" because we are both Elizabeths.It felt great to have them with us and I wish so badly they were closer. It is really hard to have a friend like Tess move away. I can share everything with her and feel supported by her love and friendship. We would make excellent room mates! Her family is so sweet and fun and just cool to have around. It was a whirlwind of lemonade stands, sleepovers, movies, and playtime here and in the country. We miss them and we love them so much.

Farm visit

I always have such a good time when we visit our friends on their sheep farm. They are so lovely and gracious and leave me with such a feeling of pure love.

friends

When my children were small I regularly got together with friends at the park or at our homes to chat and have coffee while our children played. Now, not so much. I miss seeing those people but everyone's schedule has changed, my kids are in school and we don't spend much time hanging out at the park. Last week I made a pot of coffee and a batch of scones and had two friends over for a visit. It was a good reminder that I need to connect with people and not just randomly, but on purpose. Lively conversation+strong coffee+a delicious bite to eat=happy afternoon.
