~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Though we live about 8 hours from each other......
7.5 hours when Willa drives.......9 hours when I drive...
(.....for some strange reason.....go figure......)
......our families are the best of friends......like sisters.....like brothers.....
This year marks ten years that we have known each other......
......at least via phone & emails....
........which is how we originally communicated (the first two years) ........
.......and still do........
but sometimes........we actually get to visit each other!
This was one of those special years.....we got a week.....TWICE!
Once in the south......and once in the north.......
This photo is possibly the last one where we get all seven of Willa's kids and all six of mine in one photo....as the older ones begin to move on.......taken minutes before we left their home in June, after a week's visit.
TRIVIA: Did you know that our families have the same last name, practically???
Our name just has one extra letter in front! :)
BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS, MY FRIEND!!!!
We miss you all!
Love, Chari & the gang at Hearts' Haven!
AND.........since it is birthday season.......
We wish a very happy birthday to our friend Sierra, who is turning 17 years old today!
She is well-loved in this family, like a sister to my girls.
I have SO many wonderful pictures of Sierra from the past year......I will have to limit myself, or I will be here all night. She is actually sitting in my living room right now as I write this....visiting with my girls........
.......a handful, or two, of random photos of the last five months......
Sierra played the female lead opposite Matthew in "THE GAZEBO" last May
Matthew & Sierra walked the streets in their costumes.....
...everyone thinks this is a photo taken in the 1950's. :)
This was the press release photo of "THE GAZEBO"
Matthew as Elliott Nash & Sierra as his wife Nell
