Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was great- the weather could not have been better. Sunshine and 70--thank you Jesus. One of my best friends from the time we were in diapers (me usually only in a diaper, and her in a perfectly smocked dress with a matching hair bow and Mary Janes) made an impromptu trip to town. We spent the weekend talking as fast as we could get the words out, laughing, shopping, drinking cocktails, and dining at a few of my favorite local spots. As I get older, I realize how precious and few lifelong friends are. I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to be able to say that I have a whole handful that I could never imagine my life without. Catching up brought back so many memories as she helped me (always) sort through my crazy life with such rationality and sensibility and a few glasses of wine.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
—Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
