Ruth and Crystal

We had a great evening with the aforementioned Ruth and Crystal.

Post-biscotti bliss. I had already retired to my pajama bottoms (yes, while guests were still in my home!) thus the blanket.

It never ceases to amaze me how you can cross paths with someone repeatedly and never discover how wonderful they are until you share an evening together. Such is the case with Ruth. (Crystal and I were fast friends from the beginning) I lived with Ruth and hundreds of other people while on the Doulos but knew only a few well. A lesson learned in taking time, even when life is SO BUSY, to invest in relationships and discover the treasure inside those around me!
