Day 15

January 15, 2012

Today was a busy day and one I had to contemplate what picture I would include.  I considered taking a picture of the care packages that were donated by Northern Virginia Blue Star Moms, a group I recently joined, that will be sent to my son who is currently deployed.  I was set that this was what I was going to represent my day by.  But then I made bread...

Making this bread brought back memories of a tour we spent in Kodiak, AK.  A very good friend of mine was always making bread (and is who turned me on to getting a bread machine).  While our husbands were underway, I would stop by to visit with her and allow our kids to play and she always had bread baking so were would share a nice hot slice with butter and jam.

I miss those days for the companionship and friendship, for having her just down the street so that I could stop by, chat and pass the time.
