Fun Visit

Last weekend my Mom and our family friend Sophie came to visit. We had a lot of fun. We went out to eat, shopped for ebay items at an outlet mall, and visited a MI famous year round Christmas store. Sophie loved the huge store. It was kind of a blast from the past. Sophie is a really dear family friend and a truly special person. When my mother's mom fell sick with Lou Gehrig's disease many years ago, Sophie was the in-home nurse they hired. Needless to say she became much, much more than a nurse to our family. The fact that she is such a part of our lives, I think is testimony to what a tremendous person she is. Sophie also has an outstanding sense of humor. She is hilarious, fun-loving, and a pleasure to be around. Sophie is such a simple soul, she would be happy no matter what she was doing. On Sunday night we had some of her favorites as you will see from the picture. We had sloppy joes for dinner, champagne to wash it down, peeps for dessert, and played her favorite game skip-bo several times. An interesting combination, but we all had a great time! Who couldn't around Sophie?
