A Visit with a Dear Friend

Over the weekend my dear friend Tamar came for a visit. We haven't seen each other in over ten years. But, as with all true friends, we picked up exactly where we left off. We shared our struggles, our hurts, and our joys. We went to the park, ate homemade ice cream, and stayed up late. This weekend marked the one year anniversary of my husband's death. Tamar knew that, and her visit made our weekend special instead of sad.

Tamar brought some lovely gifts that I thought that you might enjoy seeing. One was a bottle of wine that she made herself! Such a labor of love, her wines take anywhere from six months to two years before they are ready to drink. Tamar began the process with this Blueberry Delight in November of 2011, and it is delicious!

Another gift that Tamar brought was this personalized kitchen towel. She also made this herself and I am so pleased with it. I'm not sure if I can bring myself to use it though, maybe I will display it instead. Good friends are invaluable and they make our lives rich and meaningful, thanks Tamar for making our difficult weekend a precious memory.
