hooray...

...for hanging out with friends!

I spent last night and this afternoon at the Lensink's house. Martin (Mr. Lensink) invited me out for dinner with the family last night after he called to see if my parents were available to come for Sunday lunch today. I spent the rest of the evening with three of the Lensink kids talking and listening to good music in the candle-lit living room...it was wonderful and relaxing and stimulating all at once. Like good times at college (except for the candles). When they found out that my parents are gone this weekend, they also invited me over for coffee and lunch after church. Horray for hospitable people! Martin and Linda (parents) have four children within four years of each other: Anna (23), Neil (22), Esther (21), and Alan (20). I was friends with the youngest three in high school...I shouldn't say "was", because I still consider them good friends! Never a dull moment with the Lensinks. I had a fantastic time!

This weekend turned out to be much better than I expected it would be when I blogged about it twenty four hours ago. I love it when I'm suprised like that!
