My sweet friend Dory came for a long weekend visit
this past weekend and it was FABULOUS!
We stayed at my sweet friend Betty's lakehouse and had a weekend full of:
- LOTS and LOTS of talking
- driving to another town to watch Madison dance at halftime & almost not finding the stadium in time
- eating {best pie ever here- they even have pie happy hour!}
- lots of antique shopping
- movie watching {3 in the theater-Utopia, Dolphin Tale, The Big Year- 2 on DVD}
- driving around in the golf cart {SO SO SO SO fun!}
- TONS of laughing {like when I walked into the men's restroom at the movies- oops!}
- GIANT metal chicken picture taking
- 2.5 hours spent in the McDonald's parking lot while a precious young man {along with his wife, 16 month old, and cousin} changed the starter in my car {they were truly a blessing!}
- coffee and Diet Coke drinking {which meant many trips to Sonic & McDonald's}
- Rummikub playing
- picture taking {GIANT spur, antler tree, beautiful lake sunrise}
It was a super relaxing weekend and I loved every single minute of it!
We always have such a great time together and because we live so far apart,
I try to treasure and store up every single memory in my heart for
all those days in between our visits.
I absolutely HATED to put her back on the plane to go home.
I HATE that we live so far apart.
But I am so thankful for the time that we get to spend together
and for text messaging and email and phones
and so thankful God blessed me with such a precious friend.
I love her much!
