the value of friends

today i went to one of my friends house for lunch. Nic and i went to school together and have maintained a great friendship over the years. we have similar values, outlooks and thoughts on family, life, love and craft. it is so fulfilling spending time with true friends. our kids are testament to that. the 5 of them played and played all afternoon with laughter, creativity and fun. no tears or squabbles just fun. in turn this meant nic and i had time to recharge and enjoy each others company and enjoy the beautiful winters day. thanks for having us nic, we loved it.
