just another day

   But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely.  Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.  ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859Well, there is nothing much new here today. The weather is going to be sunny and about 38*f/3*c. not really warm but better than we have had lately. My gal pal that was in really rough shape yesterday is better. I called her last night and she had calmed down some. Her spouse took a personal day so she was not alone. I will check in with her today.I am going to make a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting a little later. I will take some of it to my girlfriend’s tomorrow when we go to finish up the room. Hope fully, it will all get done even the laying of the laminate flooring. I am also going to take some to another friend’s house. They have company coming that are good friends of ours. We have not seen them since boxing day as they live three and a half hours away. So it will be nice to catch up with them.We had supper out with our usual friends last night. Our Friday night ritual. I had a tuscan chicken salad. Yummy!!! these are the same friends that have our other friends coming to visit. They are brothers.I have a tanning appointment later today. I am getting nice and brown for our trip. In 15 days we will be going through security at the airport. I am getting really excited. We are going to get the suitcases down this weekend. Then I can take my time and pack.Well, not much else to add today. So everyone have a nice weekkend. Debbie
