“Sweet, crazy conversations full of half sentences, daydreams and misunderstandings more thrilling than understanding could ever be.”
― Toni Morrison, Beloved
Today was a fabulous day! And we really didn't have any traveling pants, unless you count Lise's sister, Charlotte's, who came to visit from Indiana. Guess which one she is? LOL We spent the morning running an errand or two and then met Wendy and her cutie, Micah, and Leah and her 3 cuties, Robert, Richard and new cutie, William, for lunch at Olive Garden. So.much.FUN! We laughed and talked, a few may have teared up, and just enjoyed each other. After that, Lise and Charlotte and I did a little thrifting! We all ended up with some cute jewelry pieces that we'll have to show off later. And I found a PALM TREE scarf. Naturally, I had to have it. Yeah, sadly, it was full price and not thrifted. But it was palm trees. I HAD to have it. It's a rule.
We had THE best time at lunch today. Anyone going by our table would have thought that we had all known each other FOREVER or that we were all related. And thought I'm not as close to some as others, I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt, if I ever needed anything at all, any one of these women would be there in a minute!! And I just LOVE this picture!! Seriously, Ladies, we need to do this regularly instead of like once a year!!
And that's what friendship and sisterhood is about, isn't it? Being there for one another. A shoulder to cry on, someone to share joys with, someone to be silly with. To know that no matter what happens, good, bad, or ugly, you can count on your friends to be there, even if you disagree. Sometimes, you need that someone that you know will kick your butt and get you going, to tell you that you're being stupid, or that No, you actually don't need another purse! LOL And sometimes, you need someone to just let you cry, and someone to just laugh with and forget all the other things going on, or to just gossip and be all judgey with. (Don't judge! You know you do it, too.LOL)
“For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands”
