a nice way to spend the day

yesterday morning my friend lara from my hometown (sewickley, pa) was in town for a visit from san diego. we were neighbors growing up and i was in her wedding, she was in mine... we had a lovely morning together, took a walk up the hill, had lunch at liberty cafe, came home to put dottie down for a nap, and spent the afternoon catching up on the back porch. what a lovely way to spend the day. gabbing with an old friend is the best isn't it? it was the first time she met dottie which was also very nice. dottie was a big fan and insisted that lara hold her hand and read to her instead of me.
