MEL COMES TO TOWN!!!

It was a rainy afternoon when Mel came to town. She accompanied us to the river, which was gray and bleak, however, nothing dampened our spirits because it had been 6 years since we'd seen each others' faces and that was better than sunshine for us!
Mel has a special gift, she is wonderful with children. Julia loves spending time with Mel, whether they are plowing a field with her horse, or reading countless stories together. (sunglasses and all..... that's my girl!)
The boy loves dear Mel as well. Usually he just points and smiles at her, but it is no ordinary smile. Sam lights up with his most adoring smile ever and then scoots over to her for a pickup. :) Here they are enjoying the sunset at the bridge, after Mel experienced a real Canadian Poutine for the first time.
AND OF COURSE, who -who should appear? But the Bonita Girl smiling from ear to ear.
yes. yes of course, this is the one - who travels, yes travels every place under the sun.


WHAT A WONDERFUL bunch of friends God has blessed us with!!!
