On a dark & cloudy moon lit night ... & a full one at that! ... a journey of great love & fun began ...
come on along ...
It has been quite a time getting this trip together for some time. We tried one day to leave town & got 8 hours down the road to receive the call
Harold had to be at work the following day in NJ, so we had to beat feet back home.
Well, last Friday a week ago, the company said his project part was done.
When he hung up I said 'you've got 15 minutes to mow that lawn' ... he
goes out to mow & the tractor LOST A PART on the first sweep, oy! No
way is anything going to deter this, I vowed. He borrowed a tractor, mowed, I throw clothes in the suitcases ... and out this door we flew, let me tell you!
Yippy skippy ...
Now this was a challenge ... I called Willow's hometo get the exact address as I wasn't sure if I was
correct in my numbers. Dave answered the phone & I explained to him I was 'surprising' her.
Oy! Dave said 'she's not having a good day'. I
said 'just tell her to answer the front door'. Well, Willow came to the door & her startled look was
worth a thousand words.
We travelled around the entire world in such a
short time, solved genealogy topics & reno's ...
& could have talked the whole night thru.
They have done a lovely job on their homeconstruction projects.
Willow has truly accomplished even more with
her dramatic weight loss, she looks soooo great!
The 4 of us had a blast chatting away into the
mid-eve ... our allotted time was not enough .
with our charming friends.

Our next surprise ...John greeted me at the door. I told him I had a
delivery for 'a Mildred, is she available'. He said,
'she is resting'. I asked if he could let her know
there is a 'delivery for her'. He was puzzled for
sure & it was so cute watching him look at me
with my gift basket & Harold taking pictures.
Mildred made her way to the door, took one look
& THREW HERSELF into my arms. Whew! Then
came the tears of joy, & news they received a few
minutes before we arrived re John's medical
issues ... tears well for me.
Eventually, Mildred got her composure & wejoined them inside of their beautiful home.
The wall art, her treasures & serenity of her
land are so soothing & enjoyable. We are
enjoying her outdoor porch & swing ... the birds twitting, the breeze & rain so fresh scented ...
Constant non-stop chattering was so enjoyed
with them both ... we could have spent days of
contented moments with them, but that
schedule kept us tight on time.
John, Mildred & Harriet ... oh, my ... precious moments with
dynamite friends forever.
Please pray for them both as John travels this medical
journey.
Thank you for a treasured birthday & wedding anniversary
to remember forever, sweet friends.

from her generous heart. You may read about this sweet child @Nezzy's cowpattysurprise.blogspot.com.
Kerrie is a very precious friend that we visited.
She was so excited to see us, the squeals, joy &
delight of our togetherness was infectious, echoing throughout the house. We are so very
blessed to have them both in our lives & we got
to meet their wonderful daughter Barbara.

I do believe occasionally we each inhaled ...
chuckle! Yup! It was that non-stop breathless
chatting.
Marydon, Kerrie & Bill. It was like high school
giggles & moments ... that will be held closely
in our hearts forever.
in our hearts forever.
Bill is an expert wood carver & creator of
fabulous items. I was so fascinated at how on
earth he does such intricate works.
Kerrie is one fabulous artist, her works are over
the moon gorgeous & she needs to share them
more for you all to see ...
This is the view of Kerrie & Bill's backyard from
her office. It is awesome ... her wildlife photos
are all taken in her yard ... lucky her!
Harold & Bill had a wonderful time chatting
but couldn't get many words in edgewise with
Kerrie & me ... she gave us a wonderful tour of
their lovely home & treasures.
Please keep Kerrie & Bill in your prayers as they travel his journey with cancer.
It was truly a 'gotcha'!
All my love to everyone for one emotional & blessed week of love & joys ... with our beautiful friends & family. You all hold a special place in our hearts.
I so appreciate your loyal love ...
