Good friends...and farewell!

We had the special opportunity to spend the day with some new friends...who, unfortunately for us, will be leaving for Africa soon! I especially count this visit as a special memory for that reason. I am so very blessed, and frankly, in awe, whenever God sends like-minded friends...with not only lots of similar interests to share, but similar values, goals, and concerns. This is our friends....the Whitlock family!

This is my friend, Dayna and I. We talked for hours and never ran out of something to talk about! Actually....we probably could have talked for hours more if they didn't have to get ready for track! Dayna is one of the only other people I know who loves Kombucha! (don't be surprised if you recieve a package in the mail to make some while you are away!) We share a love and interest in sewing, fabric, quilting, hopechests, FOOD, recipes, FOOD, Nourishing Traditions, homeschooling, FOOD....and of course, our Lord. I am so happy for them that they will be ministering in Mozambique thru the organization Samaritans Purse....but, oh, how I wish they were staying here!!!! I will miss her so much!
This is her lovely, oldest daughter, Caelan (I'm sure I spelled that wrong, sorry!)....She is so sweet, as are all of Dayna's children, and very like minded with my girls...and look at that smile! All of the Whitlock's have HUGE smiles! They are very contagious!

This sweet girls is Morgan...again, sweet, sweet smile! I wish I had thought to take pictures of all of kids together! But....we talked too much! LOL I know Dayna has lots of pictures, so I am hoping to get some of them.

~God bless you, Whitlock family! You all will be in our prayers and thoughts and we can't wait until you are able to come home for a visit. Look for care packages! We love you guys!
