Sissy and I had a lovely impromptu "Ladies Lunch" today. After shoe shopping, we decided to stop for a bite--a rare treat these days.

We were in the mood for a little splurge and even split cheesecake for dessert. And, in honor of the occasion, I even indulged her when she asked for a tiny dab of my lip gloss. She was very proud of her sparkly lips.

I am so acutely aware that this is the last school year my youngest will be home full-time with me...

I want to be sure to make the most of it.
