Love Thy Neighbor

I do. I love my neighbor! I knew the first time we met we were kindred spirits, and now I'm happy to call her my friend. Through her, I see part of who I am, and part of who I'd like to be. She is a great mom, with a free and fun lovin' spirit, not to mention a heart of gold. Last week, Demolition Man a.k.a. Griffin, broke my big, blue Ball jar filled with marbles...sigh. It wasn't worth much, just one of my garage sale finds, and I know that things are just things, but it was one of those "special things". Yesterday, my neighbor handed me a jar just like the one that had been broken. Hmm, giving just for the sake of giving... How's that for being awesome? Yep. I think I'll keep her. Only problem is, this new jar is now 100x more special than the one before!!

I hope you're having a happy Saturday! It's a hot one today. We are doing our best to try and stay cool. Check out these three chickies. They've got the right idea!
