off to chicago
with my friend barbie
for a reunion of sorts
for me to meet penny
and for barbie to reconnect
and as well
visit barbie's niece,
nephew in law and great niece
and a bit of shopping too
it is eleven at night
i am the last one of the three of us
to write about our past few days
our trip began with a stop
at the holland farmer's market
to find some pumpkins to bring to
barbie's great niece
and her mommy and daddy
meet barbie's great niece
this little munchkin
is full of joy
she showed us her new teeth
she danced for us
she said a few words
there is no doubt
she is filled with happiness
how blessed and loved she is
we enjoyed decorating their home
with some pumpkins
from the market
have you ever met a
golden person
meet
penny
she is golden
authentic, kind, gentle
barbie met penny a few years ago
when they shared their common polish heritage
barbie connected me
with penny at her
at home in english valley blog
we have been visiting and "friending"
one another since then
penny treated us to
yummy home baked goodies
and invited us to craft with her
fabulous idea to join
three people who knew
one another through blogging
yet were very new at sitting with one another
face to face
it took no time
for us to
to be chatting like old and dear friends
on to the market to find some polish meats and foods
our day culminated
with a drive into the city
to north state street
to visit a shop named
i am weary
sleep is calling
i will visit with you again soon
until then
TTFN

of sunshine, conversations and joys

Lynne, a few years ago, Dave and I went to Eastern Europe, including Poland. We traveled with Helene who is renown for putting folks together with their families in the Old Country. She specializes in Slovakia but Polish folks know her as well.
