Leah returned safely home from Spain last night around midnight
bearing gifts :)
not knowing what to give who, she drew numbers out of a bowl
here’s my winning #


I was so blessed to find a package waiting for me on my doorstep when I got home from shopping today…
Inside were these yummy smelling handmade soaps with a note from Laura.
How thoughtful!
Thank you, Laura!


One of my favorite times during my trip “home” was having tea at my sister’s house….
I always enjoy the warm, friendly touches I find on her porch when entering her home

and the simple elegance of her table

my favorite part this time, though, was listening to the conversation that Jenna and my sister’s daughters-in-law, Mary Alice and Beth,
engaged in…reminded me of when we were experiencing the season of life they now find themselves in….early years of marriage,
children, etc.
My only regret of tea time was not getting a picture of them at the table!
