Spending Time with Family

My Southern California sister, Shari, is in town!

She happens to have a friend living in our neck of the woods who invited her to come up and enjoy a dinner play at at our church as the friend's daughter is one of the stars of the play, and Shari hasn't seen these folks in many years. They used to be neighbors in Azusa before the friends moved up to Oakhurst. Through this friend Shari learned that Jen, KL, and JD are also stars in the play so she had two reasons to make the 5-hour journey. She called to see if she could camp out at Jen's and made plans to make the trip.

At 9 o'clock this morning we met Shari and Jen at CD's ball game. It was a surprisingly cold morning for this time of year . . . in the low 50s . . . and CD's team (number 2 in their league) played the number one team. Of course we were hoping for a win, and it was a great game, but they did lose so the team remains number two. We all had fun cheering for our team . . . it was a pretty intense game.

It was a fun Girls Day Out.

After the game I dropped Ken off at home and met Jen, Shari, and KL at their house and we all went into Oakhurst for "High Tea" for lunch before seeing a movie. We enjoyed the sweet and savory tidbits and the tea served from a beautiful tea service, held our pinkies up, told stories, giggled and laughed and enjoyed each others' company.

The tea house is divided into four rooms, each with a unique decor. Ours was the Tinkerbell Room and "she" graced our table.

KL got dressed for tea by putting on her pearls.

After tea, all but Jen went to see Letters to Juliette, a real cute chick-flick showing at the quaint tiny little theater in town. (I just love living in a small town.) And I loved that my sister could be with us for this family time together. It was a fun day. And tomorrow we'll all get to enjoy the play called "Capiche!" which I am truly looking forward to.

Life is good!
