Sometimes You Just Need a Cookie and a Friend

It's getting lonely around here.  The hubby off for a river running weekend (kayaking), daughter off with friends for the evening.  My friend came by and we visited, couldn't decide on any movies worth going to see, so eventually just went to Smart Cookie and had cookies and Frozen Chocolate drink.  Yummy!  Refreshing drink!  Tasty cookies!  Sat outside at a patio table outside the store and ate and chatted.  I am a person who grew up in a large family, but didn't mind having alone time.  Have always needed it really.  One of my sisters schedules her days so full with stuff I don't know how she survives.  I have to have some down time.  But, now with my children getting older, I don't want too much alone time!  Which is why I like the structure of teaching full time in my life right now.  But anyway, tonight it was nice to not be alone at home.  To go out with a friend on a lovely warm summer evening, enjoy a treat, and visit. How lucky am I to have such a good friend, and good cookies?!
