Today, I was lucky enough to spend the day
with my best friend.
We started at Tim Horton's, (it's a Canadian thing) over coffee and muffins and just sat and talked.
Meandering around a shopping mall...(Petra hates wind in her hair)...
superficially looking at stuff and still talking, we caught up on each one of our twelve (collective + husbands/significant others) kids,
husbands, parents, sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews...
We chatted about arrangements for Christmas...
meals, sleeping arrangements, grocery shopping, pick-up/drop offs at airports,
we discussed books and make-up...
where we were in our lives; how we felt about Christmas today,
about how now it was time stop...
and enjoy...
and think...
and what we were really saying was...
"I love you...
I'm so lucky to have you in my life"...
Happy Christmas everyone...especially you Petra.
That is lovely Jacqueline. I had a friend like that but something came between us last year.I tried to sort it out, but the feelings had changed too much and it seemed forced. Petra is lucky to have such a fine lady in her life.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a girls day out. Good friends make life so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqeline. You had a perfect day. Nothing like starting the morning at Tim Horton's. I love their coffee and raisin scones. How great Petra and you have so much in common.
