True Friends!

















These are some of my special friends that I've had for a very long time! They've stood by me at some of my happiest moments and some of my saddest ones. They've laughed with me and they've cried with me!

I spent the weekend with them and had the best time! They love to stay home and spend the entire day cooking! Look what we ate for dinner on Saturday!

These two beautiful little girls are my friends' granddaughters. They are fortunate to have their "Brampa" and Grandma to love them like crazy! They need a lot of prayer since their lives have been far from easy! Trust me on this one!

We had such a relaxing weekend in Ludington, Michigan! We saw the most beautiful sunset ever! These two people know the true meaning of commitment!


Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test -
Time and change - are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.
For 'mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas! may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship in your breast-
New is good, but old is best;
Make new friends, but keep the old;
Those are silver, these are gold.
