wonderful time with my BS buddies this morning…

we weren’t all available this coming Monday evening, our usual time to gather… so we arranged to meet today…

when we come together for a meal we usually go out to a restaurant, but we decided to meet here and ordered breakfast from The Original Pancake House, using SkipTheDishes…

it was great… I had my favourite chicken livers and others had crepes and pancakes… even the eggs that came were beautifully cooked… we had a wonderful visit as we ate and shared gifts…

these women are an integral part of my life and spending time with them is always a gift… we’ve met most Monday evenings for years and have shared everything, from the everyday through children’s shenanigans and growing pains, work changes and life changing events…

we try to get a photo when we have one of these special gatherings, could be Christmas, or a birthday celebration… nearly forgot today… thankfully the youngest one remembered, lol…

lots of laughter as we set up and tried to get a good remote shot, lol…

we don’t need gifts, but some of us — me especially — love them… they come from the heart… today there was fruit bread and shortbread, jam, soup mix and chocolate, lotions and towels, donations, ornaments and beautiful cards…

so blessed to have these moments together…
