Visits with friends

My sweet friend Kari is one of my favorite friends from TI. We had a close working relationship and became good friends over the years. She came to meet Harper in April and we had a very nice visit over lunch -- I've really missed her creative and giving spirit, so it was great to catch-up, and Harper just loved the attention. We always enjoy our lunch visitors and we hope to see Kari again soon!

Recently, our friend Anne introduced Harper and me to The Pearl Cup - a delicious new coffee house on Henderson. It's a perfect place for long, flowing conversation over a tasty cup of soy Mexican hot chocolate and a chocolate snickerdoodle cookie (I'm sure the coffee is great, also). Anne recently blogged about The Pearl Cup. If you haven't been, Harper and I recommend a visit soon and if you'd like company, let us know -- we'd love to spend the morning with you and a nice cup of soy Mexican hot chocolate on their patio!

Lunch at The Orange House is so much easier than dining out, so we love it when our working friends take time out of their busy schedules to spend time with us over a nice relaxed lunch at home. Our friend Olga recently came over for lunch and Harper absolutely adored her. In fact, she had so much fun with Olga that she fussed and fussed after Olga left. Olga has the cutest kids ever, and I know Harper looks forward to meeting them and Olga's hubby Scot soon!

Linda and John -- Robin's good friends and "extended family" -- were in town from Atlanta for a friend's college graduation and stopped in to meet Harper and bring us dinner. We haven't seen them since our wedding, so it was a real treat to see them! Linda and John were Robin's second parents when he was in high school, so they all enjoyed reminiscing, and I was thankful for the time to get to know them a little better.

Harper and I had a lovely lunch with my friend Janie at The Chocolate Angel -- a prissy tea room in Richardson. Janie is a great friend from TI and I've really missed our hallway chats, so it was extra nice to meet her for a ladies lunch. Harper passed the time by flirting and smiling with Janie and basking in the attention and compliments from all of the lunching ladies. If you ever want to go to a place where almost everybody in the restaurant will stop to coo at your baby -- The Chocolate Angel is the place to go!
