Last week, we had visitors!
My dear friend, Sharia, had arranged with my parents, to come for a surprise visit, along with her younger two sisters and youngest son. This is no small trip...for they live in Alaska! They flew in, and Rachael and I were so excited to see them when they arrived at our front door. I am so humbled by the sacrifice and thoughtfulness of their visit. It was a dream come true to be able to spend several days together.

| What a special blessing to fellowship again in person! |
 |
| Maryanna, Sarah, Rachael, and Lydia |
 |
| During their stay, we went shopping for material to make matching skirts |
 |
| Trying on stylish hats... |
 |
| Sewing together provided time for many fun conversations and memories |
 |
| After about eight hours of sewing together, the matching skirts were complete... |
 |
| We had a tea party and celebrated Lydia's and Sharia's upcoming birthdays |
 |
| We played several rounds of Capture the Flag together, to continue the tradition |
 |
| The winning teams |
 |
| Our time together ended all too soon...on the way to the airport, we played the "Who am I" sticker game |
 |
| Thank you so much for your visit! Your friendship is a blessing. |
