To my all season friend...thanks for sharing your kitchen and your dinner last night. It's been a good summer.
What a great friendship! So glad you found each other again.
ReplyDeleteFriendship is to be cherished..
How lovely to keep in touch after so many years, that's the secret of good friendship.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about friendships that have lasted over many years.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for participating in the Hope Classic. I've always wanted to participate in something like that.
Our friends are one of life's blessings! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift a seasoned friendship is. You and Marg are lucky to have stayed connected - and I love it that you do more than just chat when you get together!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing. Someone to remember the good old days with. I have no friends from childhood still alive. It is hard to believe. I say one's notice of death in the newspaper. Called one and was told she had passed away and lost track of the other. Blessings
