"SWEET" Friends!

Once again, Carmi over at Written Inc. has come up with a creative theme for the week: "SWEET!"

I had many SWEET moments Wednesday night at two different Christmas Dinners I attended! The first dinner was for Durham Hospice, a wonderful organization where I volunteer. It provides palliative care and bereavement services to individuals and families. I unexpectedly saw an old friend there. We counselled at summer camp together many moons ago! She recently lost her 5 year old son to cancer but is turning this tragedy into something positive: helping to build a hospice in her hometown. A SWEET MOMENT!

I had to leave the Hospice dinner early to head on over to my "Girl's Night Out" Christmas dinner at Joy Lynn's. My first stop was the candy dish. I confess I have a SWEET tooth. My mouth filled with numerous white and silver cavities tell the whole story!

Joy Lynn's SWEET girls fighting sleep. They wanted to stay up with us "big girls" all night partying! You remember don't you when you were their age? Quietly sneaking to the top of the stairs to secretly listen in on the adult conversation taking place downstairs? Trying every trick of the trade to stay up late, desperately hoping your parents would invite you to join the party? Finally giving up hope and climbing back into bed falling asleep in an instant?

Ah SWEET moments of childhood!

SWEET food , of course!
