Forever Friends

Never shall I forget the days I spent with you.

Continue to be my friend,

as you will always find me yours.

Hello, my dear family and friends! Happy Wednesday (technically Thursday)!

It's way too late Wednesday night and here I sit in my jammies with my mug of hot tea, typing to you while my family sleeps; all except my son who's up late reading. I hope you all had a wonderful day and are sleeping peacefully.

Today started out slowly for me. Took a good amount of time to really get the ball rolling and accomplish what needed to be done. I'm happy to report, though, that we ended up having a very productive day and all is well that ends well. Actually, I'm not done yet as I still have two loaves of bread baking, which is why I'm up so late.

I'm really excited to share with you all that the other day I was able to reconnect with my very first childhood best friend, Patsy!

I still remember the day we met like it was yesterday. We were around four years old when my brother, Scotty, introduced us. We lived a few doors down from each other. Patsy had long, curly blonde hair, big blue eyes, and she was wearing a little red dress with white polka-dots. Our first conversation was about grilled cheese sandwiches, which we both called 'girl'ed cheese. We hit if off immediately and became the best of friends, and later 'blood sisters'. You don't want to know how we accomplished the 'blood sister' part. Eww! hehe!

Patsy was, and will always be, one of the dearest, sweetest friends any girl could ever dream of having. Reconnecting with her has touched my heart so deeply, there just aren't words... Hearing her voice on the phone the other day, it was like the years instantly melted away and we were seven again. It's like not a day has passed.

I saw a picture of my sweet Patsy on FB and let me tell you, she is absolutely gorgeous! She looks like a model. But when I look into those blue eyes, I still see my precious best friend in her little red dress, the two of us swinging on the swing-set, singing pre-school songs in rounds.

Patsy is working for a wonderful company called butter LONDON. Their products look amazing, and they're all natural. Click on the link and check them out!

I'm going to wrap this post up now due to the late hour, but I'll be back tomorrow to talk more about things happening, post some new recipes I've tried, and share some pics. Until then, blessings to you all!

Sweet Patsy, I love you so much, and I'm thanking the Lord for reuniting us after all these years. Blood sisters forever!!

Toodles, friends!

More later...
