Walk around Exeter...and a good friend




Before Christmas, I was asked by a very good friend to write a letter of recommendation for a mission trip she is going on. Now usually when asked to write these kinds of letters (hey, I get asked) I cringe and get out the Thesaurus...looking up new and different ways to say interesting and loves a challenge (code for psychotic and a trouble maker). This time however, it was a very simple task....I didn't have to LIE...mostly ;)



Nancy, who I have known for ...ahem ...25 years, is someone I am proud to call my friend....truly. She is talented, funny, selfless, sarcastic (love that part) dedicated, faithful and an all-around great gal. If I run out of gas in the middle of nowhere (which actually exists about 7 miles from our house) she would be the third call I would make (let's be honest, my hubby and sis top that list....they HAVE to come get me :)



We go to lunch together several times a month now,
and it's always such a treat.





Plus I combine it with my walks around town...I ride back with Nancy to the school where she teaches and walk home from there (less than a mile....small town).
Once in a while I bring my camera.



On this day we had just gotten a bit of rain....wish that happened more often!





...pantry post tomorrow, I promise :)
