................Photo, taken by Elizabeth)
To end the summer with something special. The kids and I spent the day with some of our dear friends. My sisterly friend Elizabeth along with her two boys. When you are sent friendships that end up more like family, this is a wonderful blessing..
Starting the day off early, we hit the chicken market and bought 13 new baby chicks. I had to laugh while driving the chicks to the house, in a van full of kids yelling as the chicken poop dropped on the plastic bags beneath the cage. Next we washed up and set out for the farmers market. Mmmm` that delicous fresh food, grown just down the raod. Elizabeth and I can become giddy over something as this. Before leaving we shared a small box of peaches. The little ones had a wonderful time hanging from the shade trees looking like monkeys, as they made us smile.
Elizabeth and I have an ease about our relationship. We can have no words at all and other times pouring our heart out with tears. As I said a true blessing. When you have a friend that wants the best for you always, no matter what. This is something to treasure.
The rest of the day was spent picnicking and setting up in the children area at the local book store. What a treat sipping on our coffee, laughing at our children, reading books to them, and gabbing about all the topics we think to be interesting. To name a few gardening, naturals, cooking, and most of all 'Our Heavenly Father'.
We share such a special relationship that houses God as our number one. Doing our best to inspire each other to live as Godly wives and mothers. Thanking the Lord for my sisterly friend Elizabeth and her beautiful family we love so much.
