Judy's Birthday

As I was driving up the Canyon today I remembered that it was Judy's Birthday tomorrow.  Tammy and Teresa had wanted to get together for lunch and since it didn't work out for this week I thought maybe we could make dinner work out...and Judy could come too.  Everyone said that they could make it.  I was excited since Larry was taking our kids to the Temple to do Baptism's for the dead and out to eat after. 

Judy and I got to the restaurant a few minutes early and got a table.  Tammy was just a few minutes behind us and we waited for Teresa.  I tried texting her and calling her and couldn't get a hold of her. We were kind of worried.  After waiting half an hour we decided to go ahead and order.  Good thing we didn't wait because Teresa never came. She finally replied and was fine but had forgot.

The three of us had a great visit...we always do.  We talked about spiritual things and got that "feel good" feeling.  We could have talked all night and usually do but it was late and so we finally left.  I am taking Judy a "Scatter Sunshine" bag tomorrow to her on her birthday.  Judy is one of the sweetest gal's I know.  She had always ran a Day Care in her home and is so good with little kids.  She has given  her time to take care of others children.  She is a great influence on the little ones she watches and they are lucky to have her care for them.  I am lucky to have her as my friend!  

Scattering Sunshine Feels So Good

I wanted to see the fall leaves in Sardine Canyon and so Jodi and I decided to get together and have a little fun.  It's a good thing we met up because I was a little late for the leaves. ☺  The ones still on the trees were pretty but I missed the colorful mountain side.  It didn't matter though because being with Jodi made the trip worth it.  Jodi is Fun and Wonderful!  

Jodi surprised me with a "Scatter Sunshine" Sign....similar to the one we saw last week but cuter...because she made it!  I was totally surprised and I can't even describe how it made me feel!!! It is so bright and cheery and perfect.  All the way home I thought of where I wanted to hang it.  I decided to hang it where my fruit picture was.  You can see it walking down the hall into the kitchen.  I like it there so it will be seen many times a day...a good reminder to me and my family and friends to always Scatter Sunshine!  I LOVE IT!

We went to the Crepery and had some yummy crepes!  I have never been there and it was wonderful. Jodi and I had our own savory crepe and then we shared a delicious desert one.  I will need to visit this place again....so yummy!

I loved our visit.  When it's one on one it seems the conversation is more personal.  We shared some things with each other today that just added to our list of similarities.  It felt good  to just talk about any thing we wanted.  It felt good to know that others experience the same sort of things.

This place was a place that welcomed you to stay and visit.  They had couches along both walls and even one in front of these fun hanging chairs.  The workers were even kind enough to take a few pictures of us enjoying our time there and together.

When we left the Crepery we went to a cute Boutique.  I love boutiques and looking at everything.  I seldom buy anything because I have so much stuff and I'm really trying to simplify but it's still fun looking.  While we were there a young girl recognized Jodi and was talking to her.  I learned that this young gal has two kids with the same illness Jodi's son died of. (CF)  The kids were with her and they are so cute.  I wished I had remembered a "Sunshine" bag....I would have gave it to her.  Actually I would have gave it to the lady at the gas station were I left my car since she promised me she wouldn't let it get towed.  I met her first but I really want to give one to this girl.  I will have to ask Jodi if she knows more about her.  Jodi met her in a round about way and so I'm not sure she really knows.

*Lesson learned I'd better be prepared with a few Sunshine Bags...who really knows when I will feel prompted to give one out.

I drove home with Sunshine in my Soul and a cute Sunshine sign in my backseat. ☺
