This meant that the four girls who are such good friends from high school spent the week together, all taking time off work to be with each other.<br />It was nice to have them all in the house again, laughing and chatting and eating my home made chocolate chip cookies and pizza.<br />You do tend to savour the moments that are precious - and in doing so, contentment is only a breath away. Aaahhhhhhh.Bettina Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938508093045664528noreply@blogger.com
