Enjoying the Drought

We're having a heat wave.  Droughts in January are so pleasant but slightly difficult to fully enjoy knowing the ramifications that come later.  The Governor has declared California in a state of emergency!  The temperature has been in the 80's for days. People are going to the beach, having picnics, playing outside and wearing flip flops.
We have two tomato plants still bearing fruit! Imagine that!

Michelle, my friend of 32 years and 5 months (!) had a birthday.  I hosted a birthday luncheon for two.


Jan  (my friend of 34 years) and I went to downtown Riverside to window shop at our favorite little stores, Mrs. Tiggywinkles being the main one.  We lunched at a Mexican restaurant and ate outside (you know the drought).  We had a lovely day, unfortunately there are no photos to remember this day by!  But, here is a recent one of Jan with Kelli (my daughter of #@ years (you're welcome Kelli).  Don't they look coordinated? 

A curious thing happened this week.  While composing a document of my favorite scriptures and how they connect I wanted to find something I had written several years ago.  It involved Sheri (my friend of 49 years (wait we aren't even that old!)) and I knew she would remember the year the event happened. Since it was early in the morning I knew not to call and disturb her slumber so it was tucked away in my mind to call her later.  Imagine my surprise that she called me just a few hours later to ask me if I could send her that very story I had written (Turns out I wrote it in 2006!)!!!  SO, with her help I found it and was able to send it to her!   How do those kind of things happen?  Her call was the answer to a prayer I hadn't even uttered!!!!!
