New friends

Pumpkin and I have each made a new friend.  The best part is that her new friend is the daughter of my new friend.  Isn't that convenient?

Our new friends came over today and while the girls enjoyed playing all sorts of games in Pumpkin's room, the mommies actually had a chance to visit.  How great is that?  An adult conversation.  In the middle of the day... on a Thursday.  Who would have ever thought?

I am thankful for my new friend.

On a side note:  My new friend noticed a couple of the mementos in our home that honor Molly and Joseph and asked me about them.  I shared a glimpse into our family story and she couldn't have been lovelier about it.  She was appropriately compassionate, asked gentle questions, and offered not a single platitude or cliche.  For that too, I am thankful.

Yes, I have a couple of those friends too, courtesy of Monkey, and with zero platitudes to their names... One of them even blogs. :)
And I, too, am very thankful for those friends. And for all my friends, for that matter.
