This morning was low key as I washed dishes and cleaned up, Olivine slept soundly in her baby sack (called the peanut shell).

We were anxiously awaiting the arrival of a good friend.

She maybe the youngest “doctor” we know- Miss Cindy

who is currently living in Kentucky

and a newlywed

and a new home owner

and we had lots of catching up to do.

I also must say that she has great taste (not just based on wedding pictures and new house pictures)

But because she gave Olivine her first book (which is always an excellent choice for children)

And also that it was a thoughtful choice with meaning.

Hence the title:

By the end of it all, this is how Olivine felt…exhausted from all the “girl talk.” 

She will learn to appreciate catching up with far away friends is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
