Every-Day-Is-Mother's-Day Part 2: Asparagus and Scallion Scramble

Start your day with this asparagus recipe.

I'm sitting here at my favorite coffee shop ( or my "office" as some of my friends call it), preparing our next post for the blog. And despite the caffeinated air and the sweet smell of freshly ground coffee, the inspiration is  not coming. It just isn't  there. Writer's block, except, I'm not really a writer.

I think in my case it's called "impatience".  Impatience because I'm also here waiting for my friend Callie to join me for some way overdue girl time. Nothing fancy, just coffee and good conversation, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Callie and I met a few years ago at work. Like me, she is not from around here. Like me, she's away from her family, away from her friends, away from home. Of all the things we have in common, that might be the one that pulls us together the most. We often talk about how challenging leaving family and friends is. Especially leaving our moms. Of course hers is just a few hours away, but still. No matter what the distance, she is not HERE. And that is something that never gets easier. But having someone around who can truly understand what that feels like, is something I'm very thankful for.

And I will leave you with that thought. Because here she comes. It's girl time.

Enjoy your weekend,

Ruth
