I have a friend who I have known and loved since 1987.  We met while working as graveyard waitresses at Shari’s restaurant.  We went to college together and have remained friends ever since.  I was in her wedding and she was in mine.  She and her family moved to Alaska many years ago, but we have been able to remain close all these years.<\/p>\n

Dakari recently visited her mom who lives a few hours from me.  She brought her youngest of five children (well, she’s a twin), Rejoice.  It was wonderful to get to meet this precious jewel in person.  She’s a doll!  An added bonus was that I got to see Dakari’s sister, Daphne, and Daphne’s daughter.
\n\"\"Me and Dakari<\/p>\n

We had lunch at a Red Robin (always a good call with kids), and decided to walk the Factoria mall.  We stopped in a Petco and looked at all the animals.

\nI had assumed that since it was a Sunday, the Children’s Museum was closed, but was surprised to find it open!  Since we are members, I discovered that we had two unused guest passes.  So, we ended up spending about two hours playing!

\nYou are never too old to Teeter-Totter…<\/p>\n

I had so much fun filming Rejoice.  She was all over the museum and some of my pictures are of where she was one second ago.  It was a delight to see how much she enjoyed the place.<\/p>\n

\nIt was wonderful to see my dear friend and although it was too short, it will carry us over until next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
