Can you play?

That was the text message I received this morning from one of my Comfy Sock sistas. Christy's coming into town tomorrow to help her daughter-in-law/my daughter get her house back in order after they finish putting down new hardwood flooring on almost the entire first floor. It's looking beautiful: http://www.nessadeeart.blogspot.com/

After over a year, the Sisterhood of the Comfy Socks finally had a get-together the second Saturday in November. Susan brought a stack of beautiful cashmere scarves to choose from, and we each wore our scarves to Georgetown for the day.


I know, I know... my red scarf clashes with magenta, but it looks great with my coats. We traveled to Georgetown and just happened to hit one of their market days, so we shopped and browsed until we were ready to drop. Loved the polished stone booth and learning about rocks. Found a great buy on some beautiful necklaces, which I bought for my gift drawer, but I've worn every one of them since, so I'm going to have to go back and get some more. We had a leisurely lunch and actually conversed instead of shoveled the food in our mouths like some of us do normally. (me).

Such a pleasant respite in the midst of our hectic days. I love our times together; I always learn something new about them or myself; and I always come away so thankful to have such loving, kind, smart, beautiful, and compassionate friends.

I texted Christy back that I could come out to play this weekend.
