It's been a lovely day full of laughs & some tears...

Since I can't duplicate the laughter of the day, I thought this would make you smile!

I spent time at my best friend's parent's place. Her hubby is leaving for Afghanistan by the end of the week. So the family gathered to send him off with all the love we could.

The weather was beautiful, the food delicious, the company and conversation, loud and boisterous filled with laughter and love... then we ended the day with their daughter's uncle teaching her how to skip rocks across the pond as the sun began to set.

It was a great time and one that will be remembered with fondness I'm sure. When it came time for me to leave, I had a rough time... not unusual for me as I have always been emotional when it comes to farewells... but he knows I wish him all the best and will anxiously await his safe return.

Godspeed and good luck R.M.
