{Extensions of His Grace}

Goodness, if this past week had a title, goodness would be it. Each day was full of friends who I love so dearly. I also managed to cover a lot of ground, the settings of my adventures included Richmond, D.C., & Maryland. This week included getting lost(on purpose), a watermelon picnic, and tree sweaters (among other things). All made possible by God's incredible grace. His grace that allows me to take each breath, and His grace that allows me to smile with such close friends in such beautiful places. This post is to praise Him, for He has much to be praised for.

Dinner Saturday night at Kitchen 64 in Richmond with the cuties below, because adventures need to start with food. 

Reunited and it feels so good! Needless to say, fun was had and laughing ensued. 

Lights at the Yapple Frozen Yogurt shop in Cary Town (don't tell Sweet Frog). 

Sunday afternoon lunch at Strawberry Street Cafe (one of my favs) in the Fan.

Megan & Casey, brown-eyed beauties. 

I dream of living in one of those pretty colored row houses, maybe someday it will come true. 

Coffee date at The Lamplighter, voted best coffee in RVA #masonjar.

Lunch at Sticky Rice for the first time with Courtney & Taylor, I will be going back. 

Bucket of tots at an asian restaurant, normal. 

YUM. 

 Richmond Rule: Sides of buildings make great canvases. 

Now for Maryland, watermelon picnic at the park. 

Laughter also happened here.

Taylor.  

Impressive mural at Birdie's Cafe in Westminster, MD, Taylor's quaint hometown. I wish my hair did that.

Nutella Frappachinos. I have been craving one since I finished that one. 

Do trees really need sweaters? In Westminster, MD, yes. 

What a keeper. 

How have you recognized His grace for you lately?
