A week ago today (Tuesday), my friends* and I gathered for our bi-monthly sharing of the books we've read, started, abandoned, etc., and of course conversation that runs the gamut. We've been having these sessions not quite a year. After the sharing, the hostess treats us to a very tasty brunch/lunch ...
We were scheduled to meet last month on the 15th but had to postpone; had we met as scheduled, the date was not only my birthday but also the 15th, which is my monthly Simply *A * Moment day. I had planned to have them join me in capturing the moment and so we did this month. I assured them that I would respect their privacy and thoughts ( i.e., not share their moments or their photos). I am including their moments in my December album and sharing with you, my journaling:
~Tuesday 20 December 2016 | 1:55 pm | 37 degrees F
We're sitting at the dining room table - having eaten a delicious lunch. Hearing the scratch of pens as we each write. MT gets up to retrieve two more pens; hers and KH's are dry. DK is busy writing her S*A*M...I stop to take a photo and pick up the tiny bar of gift soap MT set at our places...nice smell. The furnace is making a dull roar - the sky is a bright blue - crystal clear. Earlier, I looked out the window and was treated with a parade of birds: cardinals; blue jays; MT's fave: starlings...(HA!). MT's new stainless has a fun pattern on the handles...it's so quiet...
And that's the way those moments were on 20 December 2016. It's always good to connect with and be in the company of friends.
Cheers~
