Old Friends and a Farm

Stella and I spent this morning with a dear old friend, Nancy, and her family. Nancy, Chris and their boys (Kirk is the cute wee one on the top, and Luke is the sweetie down below) are in town for a few days visiting Chris's family out on his sister's farm in the county. And while I've never thought of myself as a country mouse, the Walker property (and hospitality!) was pretty darn amazing. Stella loved looking at the goats, roosters and horses, and she and Luke sorta-kinda played together for a short spell. All in all, it was a lovely morning, and it was beyond nice to catch up with such a good friend. Despite distance and the passing of time, Nancy is someone who just knows who I am and was and will probably be. And really, it's always refreshing to touch base with someone who's seen you at your "Oh my god, I can't believe I cut my bangs so short" worst. Thanks for ringing us, Nan. We love you guys!
