“Nate Dogg – brunch with your wifie, Martiez, Darryl, Eliza, Graham (?), Wendy (?), etc, at the house in Sax on Sunday at 11. Grits, eggs, homemade biscuits, and strawberries will be provided. If the two of you can make it can you bring oj or grapefruit juice?”

Today I am grateful for friends. For making new acquaintances. For homemade biscuits. For sweet puppy dogs. For sunshine. For over-sized southern porches. For the laughter of children. For a day of rest.

I hope you too had an opportunity to slow down and experience the joys of life today. I believe, when it comes down to it and you strip everything away, its the relationships you build and your appreciation of the experiences in your life that really matter. ~ Sarah
