There are some friendships that simply pick up right where they left off, no matter how much time or distance has passed. My lifelong friend came to spend (almost) a week with me, and somehow those five days felt like a little gift from another time. We antiqued, drank lots of coffee, took long walks around the farm, and sat on the porch talking well into the night. Every morning we watched the sun rise from the porch… and then watched it set in the evening. We reminisced about raising our kids together, laughed over old memories, cried over hard ones, and treasured every bit of being together. Nothing about the week was particularly complicated—and maybe that’s what made it so special. Just two best girlfriends enjoying the kind of friendship that feels like coming home.

It’s great that you gals got to get together
Good friends are the best!
What a lovely visit! I’m so glad that you shared it with us. It warms the heart. You two look like sisters! And the quilt coats that you make honestly are the only quilt coats that I’ve seen that I like. Maybe one day I will attempt making one.
What a wonderful week. As I read your blog I saw such similarities between the two of you and me and my best friend the number of years we had together. We both had a passion for Dairy goats and kids and 4H and it was the most wonderful special time of life. I am thrilled to be able to share with your friendship over your granola and quilts. Hug each other for me time passes way too fast.
I couldn’t agree more! 2 weeks ago my husband surprised me by flying my friend of 30+ years across the country for my 70th birthday. He also scheduled a BnB for us a few hours away in Leavenworth WA (adorable little alpine town) for 2 days. As you said: time spent together talking, shopping, walking, talking, sipping wine and, of course, more talking. Life-long friendships are the best.
Oh, what a blessing. Women need each other, don’t we? That’s why I love my 2 Bible study group ladies so much. 2 different churches, diverse ladies and a safe place to love and help each other.
I love the jacket. Is there a pattern you used? I’ve been wanting to do one also. I love you are always barefoot. Me too, lol! Lucky you have a supportive hubby.
You have a beautiful home and the views are breathtaking.
To 2 beautiful ladies, I hope you have many more years to enjoy the gift of friendship!
