Kindred Spirits!

(You know who you are, dear friend!)

She knows me so well, though we've never met!

But we love the same things ~ we are kindred spirits!

She has sent me treasured tokens of our friendship!
Thank you, dear one, I love them all!

A bag brimming with hand picked hairy acorns because we share a

love of the outdoors and I mentioned that I love acorns!

~

Some of her homemade Vanilla-Plum Syrup to share with

the Gentleman Farmer on Vanilla Ice cream or as a drink in Ginger-ale;

because she and I both like to cook and preserve.

~

A precious vintage Thanksgiving postcard because we both enjoy

things from the past. (You notice, there are two girls walking together ~ sharing the 'burden' of the heavily laden wagon. She has prayed for me.)

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"

Amos 3:3

~

No, we have never met, but in the sweet card she writes that should I ever

come out her way, that her home is welcome to us.

I am looking forward, someday, to meeting you, dear friend!
No introduction will be needed!
