Eastern Shore Visit – 4.24-25.10

It has been nice to go to a place just to relax and enjoy an old friendship…Go out to dinner late and just talk...To sleep on a real soft couch and wake up to sunshine coming in big windows…It was just great to see my old friend and her hubby again…Friendships do last even if you don’t talk often or see one another for years…

My friend is Mechelle and I’ve known her since the mid nineties…We met at Civil Engineering firm and it took a while to warm up to her but after a while, we became great friends…I miss her a lot…

This weekend we enjoyed our s l o w time and just talked…She has a great garden with a great big tree in the back yard and a nice swimming pool…Mechelle has worked on her house for years and you can tell it…It is just a very relaxing place to be…I loved coming to her home on the Eastern Shore on weekends and just relax with her…I miss those times…

The morning of us leaving, their cherry blossom tree was losing it’s leaves…Richard was making it “snow”…It was pretty awesome…

Richard couldn’t resist shaking that tree on everyone…He even had to get Doug, Mechelle’s hubby, in on it…

Mechelle has always had a green thumb…When she bought the house, there were no plants…Now there are trees, plants, shrubs, fences, gates, little ponds, a big garden, etc. around her  house…It’s beautiful…

and the flowers are beautiful…Times are hard and at some point I know my friend wants to sell this beautiful home and whoever gets this piece of land and home will be greatly happy…

My best friend who lives very far away from me is awesome even tho at first I did not like her…but now I love her like my sister…I miss her greatly…
