Jan, one of my friends from high school, came to work and had lunch with me today. She always manages to bring in a package of M&Ms. Today she brought the dark chocolate kind, full of anti-oxidants (and sugar, I know).
We visited over enchiladas and caught up on each other. She just returned from an annual family reunion in East Texas, the first one since her Mother passed away in March. I know it was different for her, but I'm glad she went and got to be a part of it all. I know I've said this many times, but it never ceases to amaze me how happy, positive, and fun Jan is on a daily basis. She finds the beauty in everything. She even pulls laughter from her zoned-out friend.
At the end of our lunch, Jan showed me how to make my own dessert. She took a flour tortilla, buttered it, and opened a packet of sugar and sprinkled it over the butter. Then, roll and enjoy. Free dessert! Once we got back to the office, we munched on the M&Ms. Gotta have that chocolate.
Besides being my friend for many years, Jan is also a cheap agent. She tells everyone about my books - via e-mails, neighbors visiting over the fence, and word of mouth. She hasn't asked for a commission. I like cheap.
Thank you, Jan, for another pleasant lunch with your sunny personality!

Try rolling up some M&M's in the sugary tortilla!
Peggy, BTW, I've talked to Ashton a couple of times since you got back and both times he has excitedly told me that he got 4 Yahtzee's in one game and he got the high score of 615. I play along and sound surprised and ask him how he did it to which he replies, "I'm just a little smartie." haaaaaa He's so funny and cute!!
LOL. Ashton is too smart for his pants!
Loved the post on your blog. Ronnie thinks I am a pessimist and you help remind me I am an
OPTIMIST! I'll have to watch on the nagging! You are so sweet, of course the M&M's added to it. Ha Ha
Good luck taking care of Baylee and Robin tomorrow. At least Allison and Brian will be there to help but I bet Jude and
Sophia will be little caretakers themselves.
Take care..........
Nice to have a friend who can bring good cheer into a room. I know you enjoy having her visit (and the MM's)
Jan is such a sweet friend, I'm glad you had a good visit.
Nothing like chocolate and a good friend to cheer a girl up.
