Ah, Reader Dear, life has

its shiny moments.  Sometimes they are hours.  Sometimes more than a day.  Last weekend, the moments added up to almost two full days of such brightness (metaphorically speaking) I nearly needed sun-specs!
 

The Yard Man and I, we visited dear friends who live too far away (several hours, several states).

We feasted on fine food* and friendship.

We frolicked in the forest (or, you know, we went for a walk in the woods*) because these particular friends, that's where they live.  They built their beautifully designed and furnished home deep in the forest (two miles of unpaved road to get to their door)!


And Sunday morning we attended la iglesia.*

*Later.  Yes, more later!
(Comimos una comida española en la iglesia española! Y fue bueno. Pero no es tan buena como la sopa preparada por mi amiga. Ella es una cocinera fabulosa! La sopa estaba fuera-de-este-mundo!)
