A break, a change of scenery, a long visit with one of my girlfriends that's what my world called for on Saturday and I did it. I usually go through the usual, run-of-the-mill routine but when I woke up this morning (despite my lack of sleep thanks to both my sons) with a strong itch to go visiting. I tried to think of who, who could I go visit on a Saturday who wasn't already spending quality time with her family. A quick scan in my memory of conversation during the week led me to believe I was out of luck. Hopes dashed, I got a little down. Until the phone rang a few minutes later and it was one of my best girlfriends wondering what I was doing because her husband was gone for the day. With a renewed sense of excitement believed to be snatched from me a short time earlier, I got myself ready and the boys packed.
What a wonderful day for two girls hanging out, catching up while receiving some much needed and deserved relaxation while her teenage son watched my boys.
Thank you doesn't seem to be enough especially when she sends me home a ziploc bag full of her delectable, melt-in-my-mouth peanut butter and jelly cookies. This girl needs to be a caterer. Everything she bakes or cooks is a creation and delicious beyond words. But besides that, she is one of my dearest friends who provided me with a brief vacation. And the Universe obviously thought so as well.
