Visits with Matthew and Trish warm my heart and bring joy to my home.
I'm so very glad for these friendships.
There have also been many visits from Daniel this Spring as he comes every weekend to prepare his Kelowna home and yard for sale.
The end of an era...
Sorrow and hope, all tangled together.
The delightful times that Mom can come over for our Sunday gatherings are always extra special.
Patrice is our faithful helper with these happenings, as none of us Kelowna folk are able to transfer Mom into the car on our own.
This time it was Mother's Day and Anita also joined us with little Rosie.
It was a spectacularly strange Mother's Day as there were tears for all sorts of reasons. Patrice wasn't feeling great, Anita was feeling really sad and as I rushed around the kitchen trying to make Taco's for dinner, Daniel showed up briefly with Nicole who also was in tears so we all gave big hugs and felt all the feels.
Thankfully I had the grace and stamina to carry on to completion and we managed to experience some joy in the midst of all the crazy.
This was a far more peaceful and relaxing dinner, shared with my sweet friend Gayle who was treating me to a belated birthday blessing!
The food served was so beautiful and quite delicious.
I felt so spoiled.
Finally there was a Book Club Birthday Night with a rather spectacular gluten free cake made by Joyce.
Three of us had celebrated Spring birthdays so a party was in order.
As you can see by the books on the table we were also finishing up the Gideon Bible study that we have been working on throughout the winter.
We know how to combine pleasure with work and there is usually quite a lot of laughter when we gather.
So thankful for these women in my life and the richness of our times together.
