Last week we had an unexpected meeting of friends. It started out with a plan to have Alice's crew come visit for the afternoon. They've purchased a home in Asheville that is eventually going to be their retirement home (hopefully in the next year or so) and they get to come visit frequently now. For those that don't know, she is the very first real-life unschooler I ever met...back in Pensacola where we first got to be friends with her family many years ago.
It's amazing how sweet and fun Jake is with his much younger friend Jalen. I think there may be some hero worship going on in Jalen's world. How many teens would truly befriend a 7 y.o. boy? Gotta love unschoolers.
We were just hanging out and chatting when we got a phone call from
Jessica who was having a minor beekeeping emergency. Alice, Sierra and I drove the three miles down the road to take a veil to her and in the process stole her sweet daughter for a few hours.:)
The kids all love our silly little rabbit Tica. Mostly because she'll eat all the dandelions they pick for her. At some point in the day, Jessica came to fetch her runaway child and brought Tyler along...more friends to hang out with. Then Mary called; John was visiting from Kentucky so even more friends came over.
It was a big hang-out-talking-jumping-feeding-the-rabbit kind of day that happened serendipitously. Very nice. I feel very fortunate to be exactly where I need to be.:)
