Soup, Sandwiches and Smiles

Yesterday was the day that the "sisters" went out for lunch with Ginger.
This is a day we've been planning for awhile. I'm sure you can read about this on all of our blogs but here's my take on the whole event.

We went to a nice little cafe-type restaurant. They have great soups and sandwiches. They also have great cheesecake but for some reason or another, we did not get that.
(watching our diets, you know) Ginger show an immense amount of compassion for me. She was willing to do whatever it took to help me out with my "sore toe"
There were many little secrets to divulge - yes, she found out that Cheri and I are quite short (I'm a mere 5'3" or a bit shorter). She also found out that my sisters tend to "pick" on me for some unknown reason! It felt so good to finally let the truth be known! That is the first step in healing, you know.
All in all, it was a lunch full of smiles (and a few giggles scattered throughout).
How fun it was to meet someone you've only met through blogging.
I always thought that Ginger was a great person and meeting her proved it.
(and I'd have to say my sisters are too!)
Go check out Mari and Cheri's blogs too.

Jennifer - alias - Nickernoodle, we would have loved to have to come to but there is a problem with distance. Maybe we can meet in the middle, someday!

The Lost has been Found!!

Last December, Shaelyn made a gingerbread girl at school. While the class was baking her, she ran away! Somehow, she made it to Dena's house. (check out her December 31, 2007 post) Apparently, they had a lot of fun together but Dena thought it was time to send her back home. She made it back to school over the weekend. What a shocker for poor Ginger - from the nice, warm weather of South Carolina right into a winter Michigan snow storm. The class was so excited to see her again - she came with pictures and a nice informational book on South Carolina. Mrs. Kiel was thankful that Ginger made it back too and she was happy that Dena took such good care of her.
Thanks, Dena for watching out for that naughty, little, runaway gingerbread girl!!
