ushering in fall with friends from afar.

My sweet Choody and Stooph came to town for a split second of a day. They came bearing pumpkins to adorn our porch.

Oh, I wish they lived closer. Choody is a California girl. Stooph hails from Utah. I also wish I would have had a sweet, little baby for them to meet.

Choody spent the night, just her, no kids (she has three). So we were able to sit up late and chat, like the old days only now we talk about husbands (not potential boyfriends) and children (not potentially dangerous shenanigans). We did facials and she even painted my toenails (yellow with orange dots) since I can't reach.

If only Laura had been in town from the spud state to sit on my steps and drink sonic slushies with us. I so love my dear, old friends (not OLD really, but we four have been friends for a long time, you see).

It's raining pennies from heaven these days. What marvelous blessings to behold all around us this fall (especially the company of those friends we hold dear). (And for parentheses, which I really like all of the sudden.)
