Here's to Good Friends!

Three gals.

One car.

And the open road.

On Friday we made our way from Massachusetts to Maine...

stopping for ice cream,

photo-ops

and an art gallery open house in a small town.

Saturday morning we might have turned the kitchen
into craft central!
Scrapbooking, jewelry making...duct tape creativity...we're a crafty trio.

The afternoon was outdoor time.

I got the tour of the base lodge and village at Sugarloaf Mountain

{their winter weekend home away from home}

and then we found a little trail through the cold woods.

I don't know about you,

but relaxed time with good friends

brings me a great deal of comfort.

We enjoyed the fresh air, the walk, the photography.
None of us was a real chatterbox
{often walking in easy silence}
but I did find a babbling brook...does that count?!?

By far, my favorite sight of the weekend was all the birch trees.
They are everywhere up here -
lining the roads, paths and brooks
and standing out in the forests of pines.

Seeing this beautiful corner of New England was good.
Seeing a place that means so much to a dear friend...well that was very, very good.

"A friend may well be reckoned 
the masterpiece of nature."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
