Friends...

Today Andrew and his family and my good friend Dave came over for lunch...

Simple bean soup... crusty bread... served up on "Kathy Winkle" yard sale bowls followed by freshly baked date squares 

and tea...

A tonic for the soul!   

 Andrew showed Astrid some new chords while young children played in the background...

The dogs howled and jumped in excitement...

And the rest of us chatted...

and all enjoyed a well deserved day off...

Sometimes the things we look so hard for while out hunting are found nearer then ever imagined...

 In the rich rewards of knowing good friends!
