My Friends love me... (sappy smile)

I am so blessed.  Today I had a bbq.  What a great day.  Friends I haven't seen in so many years~ came. How fun.  Reconnecting.  I was concerned about the grill because my brother Doug always mans the grill for me, but he was playing at the Gallo tonight, so he wouldn't be here.  Right out the gate after arriving my friend Ricky says, "Do you need help w/ the grill?"  What a blessing.  He handled it all like a pro, so good.  Such a gift.  My Dear Friend Cindy drove all the way from Fresno on her way to Lodi and was intentional about stopping by and staying for a while.  My words upon seeing her and my true feelings were, "I could not be more pleased."  It was so, so cool.  Reconnected with Jesse and Maria, which was a friendship I had grieved and thought lost.  Yay for new seasons!  My sweet Tera came and I love that we are such good friends I can say anything to her.  Julie, Beckie, Jeannette, Bill, Kimmy, Amy, Ricky, Dirk, Bubbs...Bubbs!...Josh, Jenn, Korby, Carol and baby Mia... so so precious.  What a great day, I am so blessed.  My friends... love me.  And I love them.
