Yesterday we hung out with an old friend (we were pals during middle school and part of high school, then we reconnected after a surprise encounter at UW-Madison during Freshman year!) and her son.
how awesome is it to see your kids playing with your old friend’s kid!??
It was soooo hot, we sought out some root beer floats and were not disappointed at Olson’s in downtown Chippewa Falls.
Today we hung out in Rice Lake with another old, dear friend.
this is the wee boy, of course, not my s, dear friend.
SAnd her frisky kitty who mistook me for her chew toy.
We got to check out her art studio/gallery, and browse her paintings! http://www.olivebranchgallery.net

Amazing talent your teacher has. And there’s something about one’s kids playing with your friend’s kid(s) that touches the heart.
It was so sweet! I think when my kids are bigger (and less prone to accidents, etc) I will invest in one of my teacher’s paintings. She had many lovely things that I’d love to see every day!
