Sand In My Toes

Today we did something I wish we did a lot more of.  Have a friend over.  It was just that simple, but has been so difficult due to being out in the "middle of nowhere", a good hour away from all of our friends.

My older child and his friend played and played.  Together, they had such a wealth of ideas, fun to have, games to play.  Sometimes solitary play just doesn't cut it.

I also had a good time spending time with my friend.  Hanging out, getting to know each other more... I really think we've missed out being so far away.  I want to have closer connections with other adults in my life.

I want community, I want a tribe.
