As you might remember, the girls and I drove up to Lewiston this past week and visited the daffodils, our friend, Ella-Mae, and her daughters. 

Here’s E-M with one of her cute girls, McKenzie.

While we were in the big city we enjoyed a quick visit, soaked up some Vitamin D, made a Costco run, and we picked up a college friend of mine, Alicia, and brought her home with us for a few days.  Alicia is a sixth grade school teacher in Montana and was on her Spring Break, so it was a good time to come for a visit. 

Lewiston was full of spring glory.  Ella-Mae taught Lucy to say “Look mom! There’s God’s glory!” whenever she saw the pink Dogwoods that were in full bloom….

…. here, my friends, is “God’s gwory”.

Thankfully, the sun did follow us home when we left Lewiston.  Unfortunately, the green grass and “God’s gwory” didn’t come, too.   We’re probably still a month away from those heavenly delights.  At any rate, we were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine while Alicia was here. 

Alicia and Katelyn bent down to be even with Lucy who was standing up.  Lucy thought she’d go ahead and bend down, too.  Funny kid.

Isn’t it great to have friends who love your kids?  I had such a fun week.  First with Ella-Mae, then with Alicia.  So nice to have old friends.  Thanks to Alicia’s Spring Break, I took in a healthy dose of Vitamin D, exercise, flank steak, spiritual encouragement, and chai.  What more could a girl ask for in the middle of March?!

 I took lots of spring pictures in Lewiston so you can look forward to more sure signs of spring this week at Cowgirl Clippings.  A flower potting session is headed your way tomorrow… hang on to your hats!
