This weekend I began to make a birthday gift for my friend of 46 years. Neither one of us needs a thing but I decided to make her a journal cover. Who doesn't need to write down everything when you get to be my age and she is only 5 months younger than I am. So I thought it should come in handy. It was going pretty good but it was dusty pink. She's Italian...pink isn't her deal. It's my deal.
So on Monday I had to get to town to have my haircut. The roads weren't exactly plowed but I went slow and it was fine. After my haircut, I browsed our health food store that has wonderful gifts. Nothing moved me so I bought her chocolate covered sunflower seeds and came home.
Instead of working on her gift, I took a nap. Think I was putting off the project? I'm pretty good at that - still have my tax stuff spread all over the kitchen table. Then it was time to make supper...taco pie and by the way it was pretty good.
After supper I headed down the hall to come up with something. So for the next four hours, I worked on my labor of love for her. I finished it just in time to glue a couple of things onto it and get ready for the next day.
Next day: I am off to see my friend and spend some fun hours with her laughing and eating and enjoying each other's company. Yay!
Take some time to be with your friend - it does wonders for your soul!

being with friends is such a perfect way to spend time. i just spent half of last night drinking tea and talking with 2 of my old friends, and a new friend that we just accepted into our unclique =)
ReplyDeletewhat better way to spend a night?
Steph - it is a blessing - I don't see friends from high school...never did. I went to a private school where everyone came from everywhere. I treasure her friendship.
ReplyDeleteSweet pea - you are so lucky and smart to have learned so young the value of girlfriends.
Sweet Pea: I want to come have tea with you!
ReplyDeleteBonnie: You are such a creative gal!!! Friendships are so important. I didn't really bother trying to be a good friend when I was in highschool, and now I'm learning how important it is to be a good friend.
=) well thank you so much. im so glad i did, though, because friends are so important to me.
