Today was a beautiful day! As I started out to do a few errands, I noticed some patches of yellow flanked by green leaves.

Tonight I had the pleasure of sharing dinner with my sister, Donna, and her husband, Albert. It is always a pleasure when family members get together. However, this story is about friends; church friends, neighbor friends, and new friends.
