Friendship Friday

Picture from art.com by Heidi Satterberg

What an exciting morning for me! I came home from having 'morning cuppa' at school with some other Mum's and discovered lots of new comments. Wow! I'm just ecstatic. It really doesn't take a lot to keep me very very happy LOL. I am very humbled to have someone besides me actually reading my blog. WELCOME ladies!

Friday for me is actually all about friends. In the morning I take my kids to school and then head on up to the staffroom where a bunch of parents ~ usually just Mum's, but the occasional Dad will pop in ~ sit and have a cuppa and a chat. Today I'm going to a friend's place for lunch. She & I have children at the same school and have enjoyed a wonderful friendship from the moment we met. She taunted me this morning with "I've got a mango...and some chickpeas....and some basil...and some feta". When I asked her why she was taunting me she said "you could invite yourself over for lunch". So I did. And she will serve me the most wonderful salad!!!! I was dubious the first time I had it, but it was beautiful.

Tonight, I will join three other friends from my church to go and see "The Jane Austen Book Club" movie together. We're starting off with dessert....of course! The four of us are also avid Book Clubbers, so this movie appealed to us all. I have the tickets in my hot little hand already so there will be no way we won't get a seat!

Good friends are indeed a rich blessing in my life and I am grateful that God has placed some wonderful people on my path along the way. We have walked many roads together, and some have camped many holidays together with us and they all make up the wonderful tapestry that has been my life so far.
