a lovely ladies’ weekend spent with friends at the lake house
with a long hike through the winter woods
wonderful comfort foods and wine to share
warm blankets, pajamas, slippers
long discussions
on one thing leading to another
ranging from
our favorite cutlery (i prefer small pieces)
to our grown children (we do the best we can)
to humor (what’s funny to one…)
to politics, the state of the world, and more
(each with our own perspectives, experiences, and ideas)
no subject off limits
then spoiling ourselves with magic spa treatments
so relaxing and so powerful in so many ways.
“i feel like i’m a super hero diva and my power is glitter.”

in the midst of the polar vortex
a call goes out
a friend offers to drive us all to the movies
preston- holding down the fort at the theater
sells us popcorn, beverages, and tickets
menu offers a movie combo of cocktails and popcorn
the movie was great
the company was great
felt like we were skipping school
to just have a day of fun
we forgot about the polar vortex outside
we laughed and cried
we’ll never tell who chose which beverage:
coffee, tall soda, sippy-cup ‘o wine.
choose your own adventure.

everyone needs someone who will call them and say,
“get dressed, we’re going on an adventure.”

lucky way to spend an afternoon
having a bookclub meeting with no book
in a tiki bar/restaurant
so many things to see and try
and of course
the ever popular
‘steak ala steak’ and ‘fun noodles’
were options on the bingo card menu
what’s not to love?
“if you are lucky enough to be at the TIKI bar you are lucky enough.”

when the kinders learned that their classmate
was injured and recovering at home
they quickly gathered
to make their friend a special card
wishing her well
and
letting her know
in their own way
how much they were missing her.

when out walking
it’s so nice to see my friendly neighbors waving hello.
makes me feel at home.
