Friends, Friends, Friends

Here's Sister Johnson in one of her favorite stores in West Point:  Bits n Pieces Antiques.  With her are the proprietors:  Bill and Mary.  They have become our good friends through the West Point Food Pantry, which they started about 11 years ago, and have just resigned from continued service.  They are wonderful people, and have provided many blessings to the community.  Sister Johnson always finds "treasures" when we visit their store, and I do too, occasionally. 

Here's Sister Johnson and Sister Guest, the matriarch of several families in the Columbus area.  We got to see her for a few minutes before she drove one of her friends to the airport. 

Sister Johnson and her friend Glenna preparing the accompaniments to a delicious T-bone steak dinner prepared by Glenna's husband Joel.  I must say here that we've had some good Southern Barbeque since we've been here, but never traditional grilled steaks until today.  They were some of the best we've ever had.  Joel is a master in preparation and grilling.  We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with them and the Columbus elders.

Count the friends in this picture:  Gabriella, Lorena, a dog, and 2 angora rabbits.  The white rabbit Sister Johnson's holding went postal a few seconds later, and scratched her hand in several places.  Fur was flying.  Had it gotten any worse, there would have been rabbit stew forthcoming.
