A Welcome Visitor

Sunday evening, our friend Sharkey arrived on schedule.  She did an overnight stay with us and left mid-day headed for base camp.  She and her friend, Marie, will be hiking on the Buckeye Trail.

160606eSharkey & Sylvia love the outdoors.

I think we were all tired.  While we enjoyed excellent conversation, it was a bit more subdued that normal.

Sylvia and I always look forward to Sharkey’s visits.  In the [relatively] few years that we have known her, she has become a  very special friend.  We have discovered many things that we share in common.

We particularly appreciated her willing and able hands on Monday morning.  Before breakfast, Sylvia and Sharkey did some weeding in the vegetable garden.  Afterward, she helped us as we secured the fence–making it bunny proof.  We are both very grateful for her helping hands and especially for her great sense of humor.

  1. What would we do without friends??….It isn’t easy. I know from experience as so many have passed away in the last few years.

    • Friends are an important part of life. Do you remember that you met Sharkey at the park in Lake Odessa at the TASYL meeting. She was part of the group of bloggers that met there for lunch and then went to our house.

  2. I was just thinking I wanted to come visit your blog, and then I saw you came to visit mine today. Great minds think alike. 😀 And hurrah for good friends, even more hearty hurrahs for those who pitch in to help. :woot:

    That being said, one of my closest friends had a septic problem on the holiday weekend. Guess who she called to help. :uh: Good thing I love her so. :haha: We got it unclogged and got a new pump in there. Probably saved her a ton of money. So there crazy septic tank!! Time will tell…

    • Thanks for the visit, Rosey. :tiphat: A friend who helps you with a septic tank is a friend indeed. :up:

    • We wish you could be here too. We’ll have to work it out so you can be one of these days. That sure would be nice. :frolic: :frolic:
