Today I am celebrating BONS. We met a couple of weeks ago and the laughter still warms my heart. I, we, missed Tammy who was sick, but a phone call delighted us all. We are able to be open about life, sharing school snippets that drive us crazy but still make us laugh. We talk about family matters of growth and turmoil. Mostly we celebrate. Life is hard and worthwhile. We capture those moments, some in the sand and others on paper. We celebrate.
Tam adds colorful snacks to the table. That table holds many stories and laughter.
Ruth M brought the dessert, one that brought smiles to our faces. Delightful!
The night is never without chocolate. The rich brownies sealed our celebrations.
We missed Christmas, so gifts were shared. I found this bird whimsical and comforting, a little fun during the cold. Tam happened to display hers on her centerpiece mat. How appropriate among the birds!
Tam treated us to a personalized poem with comforting treats in her Christmas box. A special treat that will be treasured!
This group enriches your life in so many ways. Just what you need when you need it.
Sounds like a wonderful thing to celebrate!
This group seems like one full of joy. What a true statement – life is hard and worthwhile.
I’m glad you shared about the group getting together, Mary Helen. What a joy to be together.
What a surprise to find the BONS on your post!! You rock, Mary Helen, with all your pictures and credits!!!
I’m glad you were writing this month, MG. It is a joy to get to celebrate life and encourage one another as writers.
Hugs,
Ruth
