blueberry julie




 One of the unexpected blessings of moving to Arizona has been cross country-cyber friendships with my nieces. Julie and I regularly share recipes and other daily trivia via email and text. I love having my laundry interupted by the little chime that indicates that I just received a text. Often it is Julie telling me about something yummy she just dreamed up in the kitchen. The fact that she is thinking of me and stopped to type a couple of sentences makes my day.

Although I love getting messages from Julie, even better are the occasions when we get a chance to visit Arizona face to blueberry face. I enjoyed spending time with Julie not once, but twice this spring/summer. It was fun to see her "all grown up" in her newly purchased house and exciting to hear her news of the upcoming mission placement in Zambia, Africa. 

When I was in Michigan this spring I had the double delight of seeing nieces and great nieces under the same roof. What a blessing to watch my nieces being attentive aunts to their nieces.


Thank you Julie Bean for your friendship.
Love you more than sunflowers AND blueberries,
Tia

What I want to know is why she's wearing that ridiculous hat out in the berry patch!

Love you more than full market days and 100 year birthday celebrations.
