My bestie, Rachel invited the kids and me on a last hurrah of summer trip to their family’s lake house in Northern Minnesota. Of course, I said yes!
Rachel and I go way back to meeting while we were in Alpha Gamma Delta's 1999 pledge class. We had almost all of our education college classes together, crossed the boarder for an unforgettable 2002 Mexico Spring Break trip, were in each other's weddings, taught four years of 4th grade together, and used the same day care provider for the past eight years. We have had plenty to laugh and cry (sometimes hard and ugly) about for the past 19 years.
I don’t want to be too much like Dionne Warwick from the Psychic Friends Network, but the time at the lake really felt spiritual. From the bottle of wine jumping off the shelf that was from our favorite winery we visited in California two years ago to the two soaring eagles that seemed to be watching over us, it was one of those trips where you just felt like the universe was on our side.
Speaking of Dionne, I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
Keep smiling
keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me
for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times
and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
