Friends all over the place!!

This week I have been on holidays. It has been a fantastic week.

Friday night Matt & I went to the Rogers cup and got to see Rafael Nadal play. He is amazing! Saturday I went to a party for one of my closest friends who has recently purchased her first home! Way to go Gracie!! And then from there was able to join some more friends for a barbeque. Sunday Matt & I got up early to drive to Manitoulin, and on the way see Alex off to camp for the next three and a half weeks (I wish I could have joined Alex, he's going to have such an amazing time). Our time on Manitoulin was good (ok...maybe a little stressful since the senior at camp was a wee bit cranky and beligerent). When I got home on Wednesday night I got a wonderful treatment from Jenn and dinner served! Wow! We had a most enjoyable evening, capped off with a trip to a couple of fun stores (Jenn is a very bad influence). And then yesterday, I was out and about and bumped into both Amber and Mo. It was so great to see their smiling happy faces!! And since it was Amber and Mo and I had just been with Jenn the night before it made me yearn a bit for my crop room....so today I had to go by Lucy's to see what she has on sale and to pick up the layout I had entered in her contest (sadly, I did not win...but I'm glad I entered it because Lucy tells me I did not come in last and I felt very brave entering it!!).

I am so grateful not only for the opportunity to have some holidays, but to have friends that make it such fun! I find myself in my crop room tonight pulling some paper together with a strong desire to create something! Anything! It is great to live in a city like K-W where you can bump into those you don't always get the chance to spend much time with. Thank you friends. I hope I bump into more of you soon!
