Time to Chat

This week it has been my privilege to dine with friends. Lunch ladies, at a beautiful home and a restaurant without a name, time to chat.
Wednesday, with a hired driver, we all had lunch with some of my favorite people. Miss B's home welcomed us with open arms, and love filling every square foot. I have been to many a mansion, and this home was the most gorgeous, lived in and on, precious house of love. I confess to loving the occupants, little did I know that I would also love all the walls in the house. The feeling of peace was palpable. Each design element, hand picked and pondered about, and it was PERFECT. The yard was flawless, the animals divine, and my time spent with my girls, a feast for all my senses!! I had to take a joy nap when I returned home. My heart was so full, and my tummy too. Mid week lunch with friends, who were not in a hurry.Heaven.
Come Friday, I was meeting a friend from high school, for a late lunch, in Buckhead, Atlanta. There was no Natalie, my driver, in sight. I took hold of the steering wheel and just drove. We had no where to go, just time on our hands, and love shared between us. The restaurant, had a name, we were too busy talking to notice. It was quiet, and our tongues wagged for several hours. It takes many minutes to catch up after forty years. We were so comfortable with each other, and laughed with ease. We finally ate a bite or two, and took some breaths, again lunch with a friend, heaven. I'm convinced that at this time in all of our lives, we did not have to hurry to get back to young children, or any children, husbands or not, work or retired, it was the lunches shared at the perfect time and place. I'm so grateful, to have had this special week. We need to all make the time for each other more often, after all It's heaven!!!
