my west coast sister is here in the prairies ... visiting and experiencing our dry cold! we teased her about the timing of this visit ... the dead of winter, during an extremely frigid spell ... she said atleast there's no mosquitoes! :o)i picked her up from the city yesterday and brought her out to our little area ... we braved the weather to go out walking ... one of our stops was the local antique shop ... she loved it and educated me on the hidden treasures she found ... at a very reasonable price. .... as she handled an item, she would whisper its west coast worth to me ... her eyes would glow as she contemplated a purchase ... it was fun! ... i only wish we would have had more time ...
her visit was a breath of springtime during this prolonged period of cold ... just what my winter weary heart needed ...

She did what we all should do with circumstances that are less than our comfort zone. She picked out a positive to focus on.
I needed that reminder today. Thanks. PT2006
That's what I always say when I visit my friend in Texas in the winter. Well she lives in Oklahoma now, but still, they grow mosquitos there in the summer the size of pigeons! *big eyes*
I'm so glad you're sister's visiting. How long will she be there with you? :)
Glad you got to spend some time with her!

pt ... you are blogging now! cool ... :o) ... and yes, she picked out a positive and her enjoyment of everything around her was contagious!
jeanette ... i took her back to the city yesterday - and she travels 400 miles north during midweek - to return on friday ... so weather permitting, i'm hoping for atleast one more face to face visit ... it's sad she lives so far away, but i'm so glad she decided to visit ... :o)
jel ... me too ... bonus! even though the time went way too fast ... but good visits tend to do that, don't they? huggs backatcha
What a wonderful gift: to be together. I can only imagine the special conversation and the treasure of the whispered joys!

Awww...this is so sweet and really makes me miss my three sisters. The closest is 8 hours away.
This is exactly where we would have headed as well, an antique shop followed by a coffee shop.
Hugs to you!

Sandy ... maybe the same smile? and she's a young chick, 12 years my junior ...
Diane ... me too - they are few and far between ...
debra ... yes, that antique shopping is fun when atleast one of us knows something about deals to be had! *grinning*
