A Wonderful Weekend With Friends......

Kim and I had the opportunity to go to Victorville this weekend  to catch up with old friends.  Kim was asked to give a talk in one of the local Kingdom Halls there so we thought what better time to get a chance to visit with our friends of 30+ years, Layman & Nancy Myles.

They have been in their new home for approx. five years and we are coming over for the first time.  I am ashamed that it has been that long since we have visited them!  But as usual, just as good friends do....we just picked up where we left off.  So this is their beautiful home!  Wow, come on in we'll give you a tour......

They have a beautiful tree in their front yard.

Nancy has had a long time obsession with light houses so it didn't surprise me to see a light house greet us at the front door.  Too cute!

Here are some more of her collection.  Aren't they beautiful!

When you walk in you feel like your in a model home.  Just beautiful!!! This is the living room area when you first walk in to their lovely home.  Check out that massive clock that Layman made!   I only have creative friends!  And Nancy did such a great job of decorating her home.  It was so warm and cozy.  

Kim and Layman and Lance took some time to get in a game and catch up.

Lance is watch on while the two old men play.

Nancy is in her beautiful kitchen putting away the food.  We had a great lunch and  enjoyed great company with our long time friends.

This is the family room.  So warm, cozy and inviting.

And of course, "Bro. Layman" built himself a beautiful shed in the back to house his tools!  And as usual, he took me for the tour and I coveted his tools as usual!

Before we left Nancy had to take a picture of Kim and me cozy-ing up on the couch before our long journey home.
What a great time, we talked about our great time and how wonderful it is to have such loving true friends and how we always feel lifted up and encouraged and happy after visiting with Layman and Nancy and Lance.  We may not see them that often but we just pick up where we left off the next time.  That's what true friendship is.
The trip home seemed to go by so quickly.........Until next time.
