Waitin' for friends . . .

The beauty that is all around us is staggering if we actually OPEN our eyes to enjoy the view!!!







Today we are "hanging around" enjoying the beauty of FRIENDS!!!!! Our good friends, The Browns, are returning today after being on home assignment for three months. The kids are so excited for them to arrive that they don't want to come home for lunch, but instead are waiting for their friends by hanging in their tree. At first sighting I expect to hear shrieks of delight!!!!!






Tradition here at New Hope is to welcome back friends by posting notes on their door. These are some of the well wishes awaiting the Browns.








Some flowers from our garden were an appropriate welcome gift as we reflect on the beauty of our friendship with the Browns. We've enjoyed the past five years -- here's to many more!!!!!!!!!
