They did a little sidewalk painting...
Which quickly morphed into "Let's make a river!"
After painting, we retired under the shade tree, where I spilled most of my melted orange ice pop onto my shirt and wore it around for the rest of the day. It was during this time that Jen notified me that Ruby was walking down the lane, straight for the road. What can I say? I was in the presence of my new decorating kindred spirit and guaranteed lifelong friend. I had a lot to learn! I apparently couldn't be bothered to ensure the general safety of my little people, or even to employ the fundamental etiquette that results in shirts that are not streaked with orange ice pop.
We headed out for some lightening-speed blueberry picking, but not before I bent Jen's ear regarding some of my design dilemma's for Silas' room. (Needless to say, she came through with some fantastic ideas! Stay tuned...)
Then, they left us. Something about they couldn't stay in the boonies forever, they actually had a regular life in a kinda Big city with other people who might miss them if they didn't return.
Sweet friends are the best! Your gift was perfect and those lemon bars DO look good;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sounds so fun! I wish I could have been with you to talk about decorating, pick blueberries, eat lemmon bars - sounds so great!

Sounds like a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteShannan- It was one of our best days EVER! We can't wait to see you guys again. I loved reading your version of the day. It was like reliving it all over again. I am absolutely sure that Emma will always think of you guys and remember you fondly when she eats a cherry. I'm so happy that we stepped out of our comfort zones and found each other. Hugs, Jen
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful the friendships that can form through a computer ?!? I have met some of my most cherished friends...and my husband!!!...all thanks to the internet!!! Just this past Saturday I had the pleasure of finally meeting in person a dear friend that I "met" several years ago on a message board we both belong to! The hubs and I spent the day with her and her husband and we had a GREAT time!!! I blogged about it, too!
