To enjoy with old friends is just amazing!! We got together and it was like we had just seen each other the day before!! and it had been atleast 27 years. We went out to eat at their favorite Breakfast, Lunch Corner Biestro, it was wonderful and the chai tea made me a believer! wow!! Then since Marsha had spent 4 years getting her design degree just lately, we went to see Theodeous Porters' Estate and Farm. We saw priceless paintings of Monet' and 2300 year old pottery along with pieces from Ming Dynasty. Priceless art everywhere, just as it was being displayed in the home at her death in 1946, as her Will demanded. 33,000 square feet and it was amazing!
Our friends shared their town, church and family with us today... we never stopped talking and laughing...Floyd had great stories from their missionary work in Belize from 85-95. We learned after the death of their beautiful daughter Kelly to Breast Cancer in 98, their youngest grandson drowned in a small creek behind their home just 6 months after loosing Kelly. Their journey has not many easy. We talked and talked and loved them even more than we did so many years ago as our bond continued!!
What an honor to have friends such as these.....the art was priceless to those that managed the estate for history, but I say our friends are far more priceless than that!!!.....eternity too...
It was just a blessed day from the squeel we heard when we surprised Marsha at her computer at the church to our last hug for the day...they leave for Texas in March to retire...and find jobs that fit their new lifestyle. Floyd is a very giftest artist...God will guide them!....and we have 2 more reasons to go to Texas now too!!..... Treat your friends well, they are worth it!!...Blessings!!! Kari
