August 20

After a long first week of school, I was tired this morning. But we'd planned to go shopping with Abby's best friend and her mom, so we saddled up the horses and headed off to San Francisco for several hours.

I've referenced B before; she and Abby met in kindergarten. They hit a rough patch in second or third grade, but ever since then, they've been great friends. I love how B brings out Abby's silly side and I love listening to them chatter. Half the time, I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, but their exchanges are so carefree and joyful that I don't even care.

Good friends are a blessing!
