Mondays are special

I started the evening at Jason & Jamie's house with dinner, Jamie had made Minestrone soup and it was very good.. Just the thing for a cold winter evening..

Last night's special present to family and friends was warm loaves of Pumpkin Pecan & Carmel Apple quick bread.. My car smelled so good as I drove the delivery route. I just love Monday nights and getting to visit with those special people in my life.
I also got to meet a new neighbor yesterday. Karen and her husband Dave just moved into their condo this weekend. They are from Maryland, and I have been talking to Karen through
e-mail for a couple of months. It was fun to finally get to meet her.. a new friend.. Always a good thing to have new friends.
After I arrived home I had holiday visitors, Steve and Karen and family came by and dropped off their new 2007 Christmas music CD. Soon after they left a knock on my door.. I couldn't imagine who it was.. When I opened the door; I was treated to a lively Christmas Carol by the Thurston family, all clad out in santa hats and bearing a yummy plate of cookies.
What a fun Monday evening.. I truly love this season and the time I take to spend with family and friends.. I think we should make the effort to spend time like this all year long.. It brings joy to those you visit and such joy to you as well.

Life is nothing without friendship
