My friend Christy is visiting, thus the no blogging yesterday. We drove up to Vail for the day to see the leaves--gorgeous!--and to have lunch at Sweet Basil--delicious!
And I didn't take one single picture.
We were having too much fun. And talking nonstop. And I left my big camera on my desk. And I didn't look at my phone once.
The girls spent the day with their Gran and took some school along. One assignment being their new verse cards for Memory Monday. We're adding verses 7-8 to Psalm 91. Halfway there!
I hear Toben stirring upstairs, so I'm off. But I wanted to say good morning, to encourage you to take the time to tell a friend you love her today and that she's a gift, and to give you an opportunity to chime in on Memory Monday on Tuesday. :)
Later, 'gators.
Once again, God connects minds. I was thinking last night, "Why don't I remember these fall and Halloween decorations last year?" That's when it dawned on me that in late September and October of last year was when I was at my deepest point in grief for my mom. And I suddenly remembered that our best friends asked my DH and the boy to come to their house for dinner and trick-or-treating. I stayed on the couch in a dark house and cried. And they went and had a blast. Which was what each of us needed apart from each other. When we talked today, I thanked her for meeting my family's need in a season of life when I couldn't. Friends really are a gift from God!

Glad your friend Christy was here for a visit, but I was bummed for you
that she wasn't able to have a true Autumnal Colorado experience as you had hoped. September was cruel with it's hot weather. Now we beckon October come in all it's crisp, blustery glory and crimson brillance! I hope Christy enjoyed seeing the brillant Aspen color while wearing a tank top!
Autumn greetings, dear friend. Welcome back to Colorado!!!
