That night, I had a really nice surprise - Rica called from Chicago. She lives in Singapore now and is visiting with her family. Rica is one of my best friends (high school years) and I haven't spoken to her in years. She has 2 little girls now (2 & 10) and I am godfather to her oldest. Rica sounds so grown up, but she always did - even when we were kids. Her brother called Thursday to let me know she would be there. I would have flown up, but I didn't have enough notice. It was blessing enough just to hear her voice.

The weather here in Nashville is getting cooler and the leaves are falling. Winter is fast approaching. I am looking forward to Christmas. I will spend part of my holiday celebrating with my family in Florida. Well it is Sunday morning, the weekend is not yet over and the day is just beginning. Today, I am going to attempt to find a new dining room set. I'll post pictures when I get something. I've looked before and I have to say, it hasn't been easy finding something I really like.
