Camp fires, counter tops and kitchen tables....

The three best places for conversations :) The past two weeks have been gifts for fantastic people and intriguing conversation and well, they all took place out at our camp fire, at the counter or at my kitchen table. I am not sure there is just one element that allows conversation to unfold and even allow some of my friends to peel back some layers and be a little more exposed. I am certainly surrounded by fascinating people. It may be the ambiance of a crackling fire late at night or the calming of the dim lights at the counter top or the relaxing consumption of food that can turn dinner conversation into debates, story telling and lots of laughter. Whatever the trigger may be, it's always fun for me to dig a little deeper into the people I am around just about every day!
I DID learn that ONE of my friends has the gift of guitar and from what I hear, rumor has it that his voice is pretty good....so...I'm thinking....a camp fire might just be the place to unravel this little bit of talent. See, I am safe knowing he won't read this...but those who know him will..and I say...pass the news on..it's out there. I even have the song picked out...so if you are around in late August...that's his deadline. :D


PS: maybe after today - I can add picnic table. ya just neva know.

Anyway- its been an interesting couple of weeks and I say, my kitchen table, counter, and camp fires are always open. :)

I want a fire pit in our backyard. There's something magical about looking up at the stars and warming my hands.
