Girls’ weekend
It was a girls’ weekend for yours truly. On Thursday morning, Jeff left for a service trip to northeast Philly where he helped remodel a parsonage at a new church plant. By Thursday evening, my cute mom and cute Aunt Wendy were in town, and the laughing had begun! I took Friday off work, and the ladies and I explored some of my favorite places in central PA — the Farmer’s Market, One Good Woman, Ashecombe’s, 10,000 Villages, and Panera Bread, of course! We just shopped and snacked the day away. What a treat! The girls left Saturday afternoon, and Jeff came home that evening.
It seems appropriate to me that we had a girls’ weekend the same weekend that Hillary Clinton conceded the Democratic nomination. It’s been a historic few months for women. Us girls with Barton blood coursing through our vains were each disappointed that Hillary was leaving the race. I hope that she is laying low today; she deserves about four months of some serious R&R after all that intense campaigning. I’m proud of Hillary and what she accomplished — not just for women, but for America — and I’m proud to be one of the 18 million that helped crack the glass ceiling!
