Friends & Flowers

While I have been here on the river, I've been trying to visit with as many friends and family as possible.  Well, I did kind of make an oopsie with my family in that I didn't tell my brothers that I would be here, so we are not able to coordinate visiting on this trip; you know I will be sure to let them know of my travels in the future...but I will be seeing my sister and dad!  I shared a little about a day with friends a few days ago.  I thought I'd share about a few more visits; once again, I have been so caught up in the warm and engaging conversations, I didn't take pictures.  But I do have a few photos of beautiful flowers, and my friends are like beautiful flowers in my life.

This is a beautiful double hibiscus I saw while walking along the river with my friend Pam and her dog Luna.

They came for a mini vacation on the river, only one overnight, but a mini vacation nonetheless. They came up from Palm Beach County because she won't be home when I go there to see the girls and for Liam's birthday.  We had a wonderful time, learned a little more about each other (we've been friends for about 14 years or so, it is always fun to discover new things about each other!), prepared pasta primavera with a fresh tomato, cucumber and avocado salad together, drank wine, walked with Luna and talked a lot.  We enjoyed Pam's mini vacation together!

This is Luna, out on the dock, enjoying the evening breeze with us; the periodic jumping fish really intrigued her! 

A couple days ago, I had a lovely morning with my friend Cheryl, (besides being my friend she gives the best pedicures ever...though I did have to tell her that my mountain life doesn't include pedicures...).  She just got married, CONGRATULATIONS NEWLYWED:), so we had lots of catching up to do about how life has changed for her.  It was a great morning!

I feel fortunate to have so many good friends.  Warms my soul.  I am going to be spending this evening with my river friends Dominique and Brucie...really looking forward to that!

This beautiful flower is a canna lily, we have them in our yard.  A bright splotch of color when they bloom!

Beautiful friends, beautiful flowers:)
