Day 17

I took a much needed break from the home last night and met a friend at the town center. It was just what the doctor ordered. We talked about life, relationships, community, family...you know, the good stuff. She graciously placated me as I went around snapping shots of all the Christmas sights and gloriously artistic storefront displays. I love photographing store displays which corporate companies have spent untold amounts of money hiring designers to create. It was a free feast for my camera.

And my friend? She was so kind and patient as I had fun. She's the kind of friend that I could call and say, Hey, you wanna go sit and stare at some rocks with me? She'd laugh, then say yes and ask wonderful questions about my love for rock watching. A sign of a good friend. Thanks, Nikki.
