Today was simply good for the soul!
The warmth these sweet ladies brought to my table was every bit as lovely as the fall breeze outside. Six ladies, some familiar faces and some complete strangers, gathered around the table, and before long, you would have thought they had been friends forever.
Three sweet nurses traveled from Lexington, bringing the kind of friendship that makes even the hardest workdays a little easier. One plans their adventures, and the other two simply trust her and show up! Two of our local ladies have shared years of friendship and could practically finish each other’s sentences. And our final sweet lady claimed the last chair after a long week caring / preparing for her husband’s surgery. I couldn’t help but think that perhaps those few hours of laughter and relaxation were exactly what her heart needed.
And somewhere between the flour-covered hands, the stories, and the laughter, something beautiful happened. Strangers became friends. Everyone pitched in to help one another, conversations flowed, and for a little while, the busyness and worries of life seemed to stay outside the door.
There’s something so comforting about pulling up a chair, slowing down, and simply enjoying the company of good people. No rush, no expectations, just a table full of laughter, kindness, and sweet connections.
I have a feeling these ladies will bake plenty of beautiful sourdough, but judging by their generous hearts, much of it will be shared with others. That’s just who they are.
My heart is full, my home was filled with laughter, and this Sunday afternoon will be one I treasure.
Congratulations, sweet bakers! Go spread a little love, one loaf at a time! 🤍
