Happy start of the week to you!
How was your weekend?!? It was a busy one here; but oh, so good!!! Saturday started off with an early morning phone call, and by 11:30 am, five people had been to our home… Have I told you before that I love living in the city??? I do. We have so much more company, friends, and visitors drop by, than when we lived in the country.
My mentor friend, who came by after her gym workout, stayed almost four hours! We had the best visit and she ate lunch with me and then we put my living room back together!!! Do I have great friends, or what?!?! The living room looks so good! The only thing left to paint in the living room is the door that goes to the Jesus room! WooHoo!!!
And she made me feel so good about the lunch I served: a new lasagna recipe, spinach and provel salad, and pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese icing – all Trim Healthy Mama approved! And she did not seem to mind all the extra *things* that were being stored in the dining room. Good friends are like that, you know!
Now that the living room, entry, hall, kitchen, master bedroom and bath are done, there are just four rooms that are needing to be finished! My hope is that two of them will be complete today. The Jesus room and the dining room are holding the extra rooms belongings today.
So, since it’s a busy day, I just wanted to share that I am thankful for my friends. I love to share what I make and bake with my friends! I am also very blessed when my friends share with me! The gifts of love seem to come at just the right time. My friend Lisa shared this delicious black bean soup with me not long ago. It was a cold evening and the warm, tasty soup was delicious. She sent the cilantro and a lime slice to squeeze on the top, and I enjoyed every bite.
Do you have a favorite black bean soup recipe? Please share, if you do! And, do you and your friends bless one another with food? The day my daddy passed, I was so blessed by those who ministered to our family with gifts of food. Seriously, there was a lovely spread of food within no time after he passed, and it seemed to be all of my favorites. Friends are such a blessing.
Happy Monday!
