Over Tortilla Soup

We sat and visited like old friends. Caught up on life, relived memories, shared dreams and ideas... From one generation to the other... perspectives of new and old.
What a cherishable night. We forgot the garage door opener and knocked on the front door in order to get inside our upstairs apartment. Kathy was making tortilla soup so we sat down to a cold glass of iced tea and chatted about our days. Steve came home a while later and we were invited to dinner. Tortilla soup, corn bread, and delicious gourmet salad. An unlikely evening, as JD and I were planning to dine out and spend the night alone, we ended up being blessed by the loving, generous couple who hosts our temporary stay in Bakersfield. Though I've known the Salyers for 8-9 years, our contact has only been reconnected lately, and this shared meal - table fellowship according to Bartchy - was graced by the presence of Jesus.
Special special night... we are about to sit down to a bowl of popcorn and a movie. Celebration of one month of marriage! Yahoo!
